FSN settings to recreate scene where they lock the door with an SGI computer in Jurassic Park

In the movie, Jurassic Park, there is a scene where they must electronically lock a door using an SGI computer running Irix, using a file browser called FSN

Here's the scene:

It's a unix system

And here's a recreation from my own O2:

It's a unix system

Setting up the directory and file structure

From a shell, run ksh generate_fsn_jurassic_park_file_structure.sh.

Customizing FSN to have similar colors and settings to the movie

The .Xdefaults settings file can be loaded into fsn.

Be aware that colors are repeated multiple times in this file (I think it saves a new copy of everything when you save from the fsn settings page).

I also think that the monitor I have hooked up is distorting the colors significantly. The RGB settings don't match up with what I get when color picking still frames from the film. When I exported a movie made with mediarecorder, it looked nothing like it did on-screen.

Disk usage

To get the folders to appear a certain height, the files generated can be quite large. This takes up about 867 Megabytes on-disk, but can be deleted and re-created quickly and easily.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. I'd like for this to eventually be portable on systems without bash in the future.
