Connecting to a linux system.

If you are sitting in front of a microsoft system on campus, open up the
network resources or network connections folder and click on xrockhopper.bat.

If you are sitting in front of a linux system on campus, you should be good to
go.

If you're off-campus, things are harder. If you're sitting in front of a
microsoft system off-campus, you're on your own. If you're sitting in front of
a linux system off-campus, you won't be connecting to rockhopper but will be
running everything locally. To do this you'll have to

 1 make sure your system has tck-tk installed:

     $ whereis wish
     wish: /usr/bin/wish /usr/bin/wish8.4 /usr/share/man/man1/wish.1.gz

     $

   If it's not installed, install it using whatever package management system
   your system supports.

 2 copy the contents of the a4 assignment directory on rockhopper to wherever.

 3 Change the location of show-trees in the show-tree.cc popen() call; make
   sure you use the full pathname to show-trees.
