Browsers

A collection of aliases for browsers, services and virtual machine images can be found in the Browsers folder and added to your dock for easy launching.

alt text

Download and run ./alias to build the /Applications/Browsers/ forlder of shortcuts for quick access from your Dock. It searches ~/Virtual Machines/ for IE VMs (see Internet Explorer (VM) below for automated scripts to set these up). An alias of a VMWare Fusion VMs will display a broken preview icon instead of the expected app icon, to workaround this the alias is replaced with a script to launch the VM image. You may need to change you Terminal settings to prevent lingering Terminal windows from staying open.
