Native Client for UNIX user preferences

User preferences are stored in the $HOME/.tarantella/native-preferences file. Each preference is specified using a line of the form:

Preference=value

The following user preferences can be defined:

Username The username displayed in the login box.
Anonymous Whether to check Log In Anonymously in the login box. Use 1 for yes, 0 for no.
DocLaunch The method of viewing web documents:
  • 0 = Automatic.
  • 1 = Run the configured DocBrowser application on the host (see below).
  • 2 = Use the application object configured to display web documents.
