Texis texis.cnf Section

The [Texis] section of texis.cnf affects Texis and Vortex.

License

Points to the license file. The default is license.key in the install directory.

Statistics Pipe

A named pipe is used to communicate statistics between monitor processes. This setting allows the name to be specified. The default is /tmp/.texisstats under Unix, or \\.\pipe\texisstats under Windows.

equivs

Sets the default path to the thesaurus. The default is builtin which uses the thesaurus compiled into the program.

eqvsusr

Sets the default path to the user thesaurus. The default is the eqvsusr file in the install directory.

Lib Path

Sets the search path for loading certain dynamic (shared) libraries, such as the JavaScript plugin. This is a colon-separated (semicolon under Windows) list of directories to check. Alternatively, the default value of ``bin'' may be given, which refers to the Texis executables directory (bin in the install dir under Unix, or the install dir under for Windows), or the value ``sys'', which refers to the system-dependent search method (eg. LD_LIBRARY_PATH under Unix). Note that Lib Path refers to plugin libraries loaded after program startup, not startup-loaded libraries such as the C or math lib. Added in version 4.01.1026200000 Jul 9 2002.

The following settings are specific to Texis Web Script (Vortex). For more details on these settings, see the ``Configuration Settings'' section of the Vortex manual.
