SPECTRUM Environment Resources
The spectrum60.env file which was previously located in the extensively
used /etc directory, has been moved to the /opt/SPECTRUM directory.
This reduces the amount of setup time for SPECTRUM and removes the
need for administrators to update many user scripts. The environment
variables located in the spectrum60.env file were not able to be
documented in the Defining SPECTRUM Resources manual but
appear here for this release of SPECTRUM. The spectrum60.env file
contains the following variables:
Variable Definition
SPECROOT This is the location of the SPECTRUM installation. It
allows the application to find itself and its related
resource fiels with an absolute path.
ND_LANG Enables languages other than US English.
OIT_SCALEFACTORS Fonts have changed and are now controlled by a “Font
Manager.” This variable controls global font size issues
from platform to platform. The format is “nn;mm”, where
“nn” is the percentage to scale the widgets, but not the
fonts. “mm” is the percentage to scale the fonts but not
the widgets. For example, to shrink the fonts to 90% of
their full size, on unix type:
setenv OIT_SCALEFACTORS Ò ,90”
ND_PATH This specifies where the resource files, describing the
user interface layout of certain applications, are located.
PERL The location of the perl interpreter. This allows an
application to run perl scripts without constructing the
path to the binary themselves, and therefore less chance
for error.
PERLLIB Perl requires certain library files for some scripts. These
are installed in the directory specified by this variable.
