NCSA Mosaic for MS Windows User Guide: Installation

mosaic.ini file

The Mosaic installation program copies a mosaic.ini file into the current
/windows directory unless one already exists. You can move the mosaic.ini file to another directory if you want.

Next define the environment variable MOSAIC.INI. If you use Windows 3.1x or Windows 95, you define this variable in the autoexec.bat file. If you use Windows NT, you define environment variables using the System program in the control panel. In both cases, the environment variable is defined as:

 SET MOSAIC.INI=c:\complete\directory\path\mosaic.ini
where \complete\directory\path is the path on your machine to the mosaic.ini file. If you use Windows 3.1x or Windows 95, reboot your machine to effect this change.

IMPORTANT: Do not edit the mosaic.ini file with an ASCII editor. All the information contained within it is configurable using the Preferences menus (see "Preferences Overview" on page 4-1).
