Using the SIPB filesystem and programs The SIPB (Student Information Processing Board) provides some useful programs that are not supported by Project Athena. Examples are 'exmh' (a graphical mail reader), and 'webster' (an on-line dictionary). Here's how to use them: 1. If you want to use the programs occasionally, type: add sipb programname You can find a list of available program by typing: ls /mit/sipb/bin 2. Do the following EACH TIME you login and wish to use something from SIPB. If you find yourself doing this every time, you can add the line to your `~/.environment' file. add sipb For a brief description of the SIPB filesystem, type: more /mit/sipb/README Questions and bugs with SIPB software, since it is not officially part of Athena software, should be mailed to: bug-sipb@mit.edu To see the man pages for SIPB programs, type: add sipb man program where "program" is the name of the program you're interested in.
