Hi Steve,
Not sure if you want to be this extreme, but I got rid of the ferret.jnl
files once and for all: by wrapping the ferret command in a shell script
called "start_ferret", e.g.
#!/bin/csh -f
#start_ferret
$FER_DIR/bin/ferret $*
set nonomatch; rm -f ferret.jnl*; unset nonomatch
Create this file, then at the shell prompt do
% chmod +x start_ferret
to make it executable, then run start_ferret. You might want to put
start_ferret in your path.
You could make the wrapper remove print metafiles as well. Wrappers can
also be convenient if you run ferret on multiple platforms -- you can
write switch..case statements to do platform-dependent settings.
Good luck!
Andrew
