Netscape and the audio client

To setup netscape to work with the audio client, put the following
line in your ~/.mailcap file:

application/x-mod; <audio_client path> -f %s

where <audio_client path> is the path to the executable. I'm going to
keep a copy of the latest version in ~ami/bin/mocl, so if you want
you can put that as the client path.

One little thing: the program uses a temporary file to pass
the web information. The file is "/tmp/fifo.mocl" . Under
normal operation, the file is removed when the client exists.
But if the client dies an abnormal death, that file might not
get removed. The next time the client is started, it will see
that file and think that a client is already running, so
it will exit. In short, if you click on a link and the client
does not come up as usual, check if that file exists and
remove it.

Thanks,
