This option inhibits this behavior. +.SH INSTALLATION +In addition to installing +.B xdvizilla +in a directory on the default search path, it is necessary to set it up +as a helper application within the browser. +.PP +For +.BR "Netscape 4.x" , +add the following lines to the +.B mailcap +file: +.RS 5 +.nf +.ft 3 +.sp 1n +application/x-dvi; xdvi -safer %s +application/x-dvi-tar; xdvizilla -no-rm %s +.sp 1n +.ft +.fi +.RE +.PP +For +.BR "Netscape 6.x" , +.BR "Netscape 7.x" , +or +.BR "Mozilla 1.x" , +add the following lines to the +.B mailcap +file: +.RS 5 +.nf +.ft 3 +.sp 1n +application/x-dvi; xdvizilla %s +application/x-dvi-tar; xdvizilla %s +.sp 1n +.ft +.fi +.RE +.PP +In addition, it would be useful to check that the following line is included +in the +.B mime.types +file: +.RS 5 +.nf +.ft 3 +.sp 1n +type=application/x-dvi exts="dvi" desc="TeX dvi file" +.sp 1n +.ft +.fi +.RE +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR X (1), +.BR xdvi (1). +.SH AUTHOR +Paul Vojta, U.C.
