TIOS DEFAULT ENVIRONMENT

Updated: November 1 1995 by A. Roelofs

The default working environment is meant for TIOS-users. It contains applications for editing, desktop publishing, software development or other activities.

Upon the installation of a new account the default environment is made available. You just have to log in and you can start working immediately.

The default environment consists of the following:

*Default working environment*
Application		Visibility
Category	Name	Opened	Iconified	Menu item

Calendar	ical	-	v	-
Console	commandtool	-	v	-
Editors	textedit	-	v	-
File Manager	filemgr	-	-	v
Mail client	exmh	-	v	-
News/WWW client	netscape	-	v	-
Shell	tcsh	v	-	-
Text processor	framemaker	v	-	-
Terminal emulator	xterm (x 2)	v	-	-
Window Manager	olwm	-	-	v

The visibility item in the table above has one of the following three possible values:

opened means the application is displayed on the root window. You can immediately use the opened application.
Iconified means the application is displayed somewhere on the root window in the form of an icon. You must first click on the icon to open the application is ready-to-run.
menu-item means the application is available under a menubutton. The application must first be activated by selecting a menu entry, before it can be used.

All applications summarized in the table, and some additional ones such as printtool, xload, calentool, are accessable through menus. All window-related actions, such as resize, iconfy, and close, are included in menus.

If you have an account, but you don't have the TIOS default environment, you can install it yourself.
