Instructions for changing the web pages in ProgEnv/...

Check out

Change your default group and access modes, so that the files you create will have appropriate attributes (frej group and rw-rw-r--):

% newgrp frej

% umask 2

Create a new subdirectory in ProgEnv, e.g. ProgEnv/Experimental.XX (where XX are your initials)

Copy the html files that you want to modify to the new subdirectory

Create soft links to the Papers and Abstracts subdirectories:

% cd Experimental.XX

% ln -s ../Papers

% ln -s ../Abstracts

Change the html files

Start a fresh instance of Netscape (so it will use the frej group and appropriate access modes).

Use Netscape to browse to the file you want to change (in the Experimental directory!!).

Select File/Edit Page to bring up the Composer tool for editing the page.

NOTA BENE 1 !!!! Before saving any file in the Composer, be sure to do the following: In Edit/Preferences... and Composer/Publish, do NOT use the option "Maintain links" (make sure this box is not checked). Otherwise, the Composer will replace all relative link names with global link names, and you will have a tedious job changing this back again.

NOTA BENE 2 !!!! When saving a file - check CAREFULLY that Composer suggests the correct location to save it. It does not always remember in what directory it read the file, and if you don't check the location it might overwrite an existing file.

After changes, save the file, and reload it in the Navigator to check the changes.

Check in

Create a subdirectory to ProgEnv/BU, e.g., ProgEnv/BU/BUYYMMDD (where YYMMDD is today's date)

For each file changed in Experimental.XX:

Move the old file from ProgEnv to ProgEnv/BU/BUYYMMDD

Move the new file from ProgEnv/Experimental.XX to ProgEnv

Remove the subdirectory ProgEnv/Experimental.XX
