Netscape Helper Application setup question

Post by Peter K » Fri, 18 Aug 1995 04:00:00


Hi.

How do you set up the helper application section in the Netscape?
The default values are:

Global Types File: /usr/local/lib/netscape/mime.types
Global Mailcap File: /usr/local/lib/netscape/mailcap

However these files are not found and the netscape tar file does not
contain these files. I am using netscape under Solaris 2.4 on a SPARC 20.

Thanks.

# This maps all types of video *other than MPEG* to the viewer

1. netscape helper applications question

Hello,

Does anyone know how to change the netscape application helper information
for all users using the older (faster) netscape 4.78? It is possible to
change the bookmarks by editing /usr/lib/netscape but what about the
helper application that come up when the user selects View -> Preferences
-> Navigator -> Applications. Can these be changed globally as well?

Thanks,

Neil
