Scotty uses the value of tnm(library) at runtime in order to decide
where to look for files. tnm(library) is initialized to the value of
TNM_LIBRARY during startup. However, if you don't want to set
environment variables for each user, you can also modify tnm(library)
during Tnm startup (e.g. in /usr/local/lib/tnm2.1.10/library/init.tcl)
by e.g. setting it to ~/.tnm2.1.10 and copying stuff for each user.
Yes, this still looks like a complex hack. The Tnm 3.0 version uses an
additional variable tnm(cache) to locate the cache for intermediate
MIB files. The default for this variable is ~/.tnm3.x.y which means
that *.idy files are automatically cached on a per user basis.
