[Scilab-users] Atoms fail and changing SCIHOME

[amonmayr at laas.fr]

Hi all,

We've just discovered that on scilab 5.5.2, atoms is not working on our 
Windows machines:

atomsGUI()
WARNING: mputl: Cannot open file \\servername\username\[..skipping some 
boring stuff...]\scilab-5.5.2\.atoms\config.

It might be a problem with our setup where the homedir of our users are 
on network shares.
Many Windows scripts are failing when accessing the files using the 
network path "\\servername\username\..."
The network shares "\\servername\username" are mapped locally to a drive 
letter "Z:" and usually, changing the path from 
"\\servername\username\..." to "Z:\\..." solves the problem of write access.

So here is my question how do I change SCIHOME (to replace 
"\\servername\username\" by "Z:\")?
I tried, predef, looking in scilab.start, ... but without success.

Any hint?

Cheers,

Antoine
