Software in /net/aps

Software available to staff members at the Faculteit der Letteren, on Linux (LWP).

Maintainer: Peter Kleiweg


For easy access to software in /net/aps, put this in ~/.bashrc if you're using bash:

PATH=$PATH:/net/aps/bin
source /net/aps/etc/alias.sh

For (t)csh users, put this in ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc:

setenv PATH "$PATH:/net/aps/bin"
source /net/aps/etc/alias.csh

/net/aps/bin

Some of the software you can run directly if you have /net/aps/bin in your PATH.
