The alteration to ASTERIX's use of WWW you are most likely to want to make is to change the WWW viewer. ASTERIX uses Mosaic by default but this can be changed using,World Wide Web WWW viewer command : Mosaic ASTERIX WWW home page : http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk:8080/...
When you use WWW inside ASTERIX (eg. by typing 'xasthelp'), the viewer specified in this variable will be used. A useful viewer you might consider using is the 'lynx' ascii viewer - useful for low bandwidth network connections.csh> setenv AST_WWW_VIEWER executable_name
The other variable ASTERIX uses for WWW is the address of the ASTERIX home page, which is stored in the variable AST_WWW_HOMPAG. You should not alter this unless you know what you're doing!
