i have a problem that I can not open the "search" in my Cadence,  but other computers in my lab have no such problem,  is there any general reason and solution for this?
Thanks!

    Indeed, I use :
    IC-5.1/tools.lnx86/dfII/
    sub-version 5.10.41.169

    which mean that I do not have other solution than install Netscape ?!
    Do I need to pay anything to go to sourcelink.cadence.com to have acces to the online cadence help ??

    Thanks for you help anyhow

    No, you don't have to install netscape. Simply create a little wrapper script called netscape which invokes mozilla inside. For example:

    #!/bin/sh
    exec mozilla "$@"

    And make sure this is in your path.

    BTW, you're using the initial (Base) release of IC5141 - that's pretty old, and there have been a lot of updates since then.

    Access to sourcelink is for customers on maintenance - you need to register using the hostid of your license server. If you're from a university (I don't know...), then you may not be able to access sourcelink - it depends on the university program (if you're under a university program). I guess you could try registering and seeing what happens!

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    thanks ! Indeed, I found the ID to create my account for sourcelink,
    AND
    you solution works, whereas i tried before posting, a simple
    alias netscape='mozilla'
    that was not working, but a simple "sh ... exec " as you suggested work.
    Many thanks
