Running MATLAB from NetScape

This note assumes that you have an unix account in the college of engineering cluster and that you are connected to the network from a Workstation or X-terminal (not a PC)

To be able to run MATLAB programs directly from Netscape in a Workstation you have to set up the (local) files .mailcap and .mime.types in your UNIX account corrently. To do that follow the instructions below.

Edit you local .mailcap file (which should be in your root directory) adding the following lines

# run MATLAB programs

application/matlab; xterm -e /bin/sh -c "cat %s - | matlab"

Edit your local .mime.types file adding the following lines

# run MATLAB M-files

application/matlab m
