cns_edit(7)            Mac OS X Darwin ZSH customization           cns_edit(7)



NAME
       cns_edit  -  Wrapper  function for the cns_edit script distributed with
       cns to edit cns input files using web browser interface  (crystallogra-
       phy)


SYNOPSIS
       cns_edit [ -help ] [ -tem template-file ] [ -def defaults-file ] input-
       file-name.inp


DESCRIPTION
       cns_edit enables the user to edit cns.inp and related files with a con-
       venient  web-based  GUI editor.  To get it to work right on OS X, it is
       best to use one of the Mozilla-family browsers.  The nicest option  for
       this  is  the Camino web browser, as it is Cocoa-based and presents the
       best interface, both in terms of asthetics and functionality.

       Camino can be obtained for free  at  this  website:  http://www.camino-
       browser.org/

       After installing Camino, have each user set a preference as follows:

       cd  ~/Library/Application Support/Camino  Create,  and then edit a file
       called user.js  and put in it the following line:

       user_pref("browser.download.autoDownload", false);

       Doing so will now allow you to choose the directory into which you  can
       save the edited input file.

       The companion _cns_edit completion function completes the names of inp,
       sdb, and def files, and if no inp files  are  present  in  the  current
       working  directory,  or  if the flag -tem is given, the user is suppled
       with a menu of template input files present in the cns local  installa-
       tion.
