Users can retrieve objects through the Cache by setting three environment variables before running NCSA Mosaic (version 2.4) or Lynx. The easiest way is to use the provided CachedMosaic or CachedLynx script. These scripts simplify migrating many users to the Cache without changing each user's local environment. To do this, change each script to contain the name of the machine on which you are running a Cache. Then, rename the standard Mosaic and Lynx programs, and change CachedMosaic or CachedLynx to use these new names. Rename the scripts to the executable names that users would normally use to access the standard Mosaic or Lynx programs (e.g., xmosaic and lynx). Finally, copy the scripts in the path where the standard Mosaic and Lynx normally go.
The Netscape client does not currently use the proxy environment variables; instead, users must set proxy pointers via the ``Options/Preferences/Proxies'' menu.
