See the manpage for further details on what `open' is and what it can do for you (to have a quick look at the manpage, you may issue the following command in a shell: `nroff -man open.1 | more') Please note that this project has absolutely no relation to NeXT! Installation: If you have received the binary package (open.x.y.NI.b.pkg) you can install open with Installer.app. This procedure will install the binary (open), several links to it (appopen, unhide, run, Edit and Emacs[1]) and manpages for open, appopen, unhide and run. If you have received the source package you can either use ProjectBuilder to install open or issue the following command in a shell: `make install' This will install the binary (open) and its manpage. To install the above mentioned links and other manpages, you will need to build the `installextras' target. To do so, either add a target `installextras' in ProjectBuilder or use the following command in a shell: `make installextras' If you use a newer version of tcsh, you may want to include these lines in your `.tcshrc'. These will change the behavior of the listing and file-completion in tcsh. You will need to customize the list of hosts you want to use together with -NXHost. (substitute 'host1 host2') set nexthosts= (host1 host2) set nextapps=`/bin/ls -1 ~/Apps /LocalApps /LocalDeveloper/Apps /NextAdmin /NextApps /NextDeveloper/Apps /NextDeveloper/Demos |& grep '\.app$' | sort -u | sed 's/\.app$//g' ` complete appopen 'p/1/$nextapps/' 'n/-a/$nextapps/' 'n/-NXHost/$nexthosts/' 'c/-/(a o p NXHost unhide nostat wait temp)/' 'n/*/f/' complete unhide 'p/1/$nextapps/' 'n/-a/$nextapps/' 'n/-NXHost/$nexthosts/' 'c/-/(a o p NXHost unhide nostat wait temp)/' 'n/*/f/' complete run 'p/1/$nextapps/' 'n/-a/$nextapps/' 'n/-NXHost/$nexthosts/' 'c/-/(a o p NXHost unhide nostat wait temp)/' 'n/*/f/' complete open 'n/-a/$nextapps/' 'n/-NXHost/$nexthosts/' 'c/-/(a o p NXHost unhide nostat wait temp)/' 'n/*/f/' Distribution: open must only be distributed free of charges.
