[ferret_users] F-tools for Mac Ferret users

["William.S.Kessler" <William.S.Kessler@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mac users -

You may have noticed that under the standard Ferret Mac install (for  
example from Andy Jacobson's excellent page http:// 
tazman.princeton.edu/osx/ferret.html), that the unix tools Fpalette  
and Fpattern fail with the error "csh: /bin/sed: Command not found".  
This is easily fixed:

Edit (as su) the two files:

/usr/local/ferret/bin/Fpalette
/usr/local/ferret/bin/Fpattern

to change the single line in each of these:

set SED = /bin/sed

to

set SED = /usr/bin/sed

(Of course save a copy of the original before editing)

Then these commands work.
