I guess the more straight-forward approach would be to add a symbolic link into the LIBDIR. Otherwise one would have to define DOCDIR with ../../ prefix which might get one into strange troubles, depending on how the people have set up their partitioning. So long. :) Rhonda -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You are right. Laszlo, the location is hard-coded into VICE in src/arch/unix/archdep.h, #define DOCDIR in line 119 or 121. For a quick work-around, you could hard-code it to the Debian location, until we find a better solution upstream. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.

Still the path to vice_toc.html has to be fixed (and I don't think you can change this in the rc file).

I think firefox would be the good choice, it's very popular and has its binaries in every distribution and *nix systems as well.

Hello Thomas,
I am Spiro from the upstream VICE team.

Indeed, "netscape" might not be a good choice currently. Note,
however, that you can change this behaviour on your own in the .vicerc
file: Under the section corresponding to your emulator ("[C64]" for x64,
and so on), you must change
HTMLBrowserCommand=netscape %s
to something more appropriate for you.
For upstream, I am not sure if x-www-browser is a good choice, as I
doubt it is available on all distributions. For the Debian packages,
this might be a good solution.
Regards,
Spiro.
