html and postscript viewer

[Mark Brethen]

A header file specifies these parameters:


/* html browser, change if necessary */
/* postscript viewer, change if necessary */
#ifdef MTU
  #define     BROWSER         {"firefox"}
  #define     PSVIEWER         {"gv"}
#else
/* #define     BROWSER         {"netscape"} */
/*   #define     BROWSER         {"mozilla"} */
  #define     BROWSER         {"firefox"}
/* #define     PSVIEWER         {"ghostview"} */
  #define     PSVIEWER         {"gv”}
#endif


And also the location of the help files:

/* default location of the help files, please insert the actual one */
#ifdef MTU
  #ifdef DEVEL
    #define     HELPFILE        {"/yaprod/yae55/Linux_x86_64/bin/cgx_doc/cgx.h$
                             "/yaprod/yae55/Linux_x86_64/bin/ccx_doc/ccx.html"}
  #else
    #define     HELPFILE        {"/yaprod/cae/application/CalculiX/doc/cgx_2.1$
                             "/yaprod/cae/application/CalculiX/doc/ccx_2.10/cc$
  #endif
#elif defined AFLIB
  #define     HELPFILE        {"/usr/local/CalculiX/cgx_2.10/doc/cgx/cgx.html"$
    "/usr/local/CalculiX/ccx_2.10/doc/ccx/ccx.html",\
    "/usr/local/CalculiX/cgx_2.10/doc/aflib/aflib.pdf"}
#else
  #define     HELPFILE        {"/usr/local/CalculiX/cgx_2.10/doc/cgx/cgx.html"$
    "/usr/local/CalculiX/ccx_2.10/doc/ccx/ccx.html"}
#endif

I’ll use /opt/local/share/doc/${name} for the default location.
