Several NMRVIEW options can be controlled by specifying UNIX environment variables.
- NMRVIEW3HOME
- Specifies the directory in which NMRView will look for the following
directories: tcllib,html,reslib. If not specified, NMRView uses: /usr/local/data/nmrview
- NMRVIEW3HELP
- Specifies the program that NMRView uses to display the hypertext help files. If not specified the program used is "netscape".
The method used to set these depends on the type of UNIX shell in use. For example, with the C-shell, use
setenv NMRVIEW3HOME /usr/local/nmrview
