1. Changing the default domain and organization
The default domain and organization for PCedar code are Parc and Xerox. Now that PCedar is being used regularly at other sites, there needs to be a way to change these defaults. Since there is no longer the mechanism of a file on the disk holding user information (as in DCedar), it was decided that environment variables were the easier way to specify other default values. The variable names chosen are:
XNSDOMAIN and XNSORG
These two environment variables should be set to values appropriate for one's own site (if different from Parc and/or Xerox), probably in one's .cshrc file (so that they get reinitialized in each shell and not inherited from a possibly changed value).
If there are spaces in the names, you need to use double quotes, e.g:
setenv xnsdomain "one two"
