# perf21xfs  $Revision: 1.2 $
# 
# Script to patch a statically linked Performer2.1 application
# to allow it to run when PFTMPDIR is an XFS file system
# (getting rid of the bogus fatal "cannot create semaphore arena via NFS"
# error).
#
# Run this script on the executable (but make a backup first!)
#
# So far, it has been tested on the following files:
#       ~src/trees/demo/GL/perfly/perfly
#       /usr/demos/Impact/data/GIS/terrain/perfly.ptu
#       /usr/demos/Impact/MaxImpact/SGI/site/perfly
# If you have an executable for which it doesn't work,
# please let me know (hatch++at++sgi.com).
