Couple of bugs in Ferret 5.
Couple of minor things in the currently downloadable version of Ferret 5.
1. The template of ferret_paths for the ksh has some bugs in that have have
been carried over from version 4. I append a corrected version of
bin/ferret_paths_ksh_template below.
2. In the bin directory (solaris version) I have a file print_ferret_docs which
is a link to ../doc/print_ferret_docs, however this file doesn't exist and I
can't find it anywhere.

# Mod 03.95 *jd* to be used with ksh. Initial fix, problems may exist
# Mod 05.97 *jd* add AIX-required environment var XLFRTEOPTS
# *jd* 4.27.99 - add FER_WEB_BROWSER
# *jd* 4.27.99 - add FER_EXTERNAL_FUNCTIONS
# *kob* 5.99 - change dir for FER_EXTERNAL_FUNCTIONS
# *gdc* 6.99 - fixed remaining ksh syntax errors.
#
# If you are installing FERRET for the first time at your site we ask
# that you please notify us with an Internat mail message to
# ferret@noaapmel.gov [192.68.161.0] (or call Steve Hankin at (206)526-6080)
# - no strings attached. Please specify if you would like to be on a mailing
# list for FERRET updates.
#
# Modify this to suit your system and place the result as file `ferret_paths'
# in another directory set up to hold login initialization scripts.
# `/usr/local' is the suggested choice.
# Users of FERRET should include the command
# `. /usr/local/ferret_paths'
# (or wherever you have located the ferret_paths file) in their .login file.
#
# The environment variable FER_DIR should be the pathname of
# the directory named `ferret' you created to install the FERRET software.
# You may want to customize the pathname of the `ferret' directory:
export FER_DIR=/usr/local/ferret
# The environment variable FER_DSETS should be the pathname of
# the directory named `fer_dsets' you created to install the FERRET program.
# !!!! You must customize the following line:
# This directory will contain FERRET demonstration data files (30+ Mbytes)
export FER_DSETS=/my_big_data_disk/fer_dsets
# System Manager: Check this PATH modification for your system security.
# If you prefer not to modify PATH here you may comment out the following few
# lines and execute the file $FER_DIR/bin/install_ferret_links wich will
# create ferret links in /usr/local/bin.
# This logic will replace any previous $FER_DIR in PATH so this
# file may be sourced repeatedly in a single session
if [ $PATH != *ferret* ]
