A.4. - Help files
There are a number of files in the help directory.
The contents of
the files called
news
and
motd
are printed each time
C-PLOT starts.
The file
news
is included
in the distribution and will be overwritten when C-PLOT
is updated.
You also can write your own help files.
Any text file
in the help directory is accessible through C-PLOT's
help facility.
The help file
help_fmt
includes instructions
for setting up help files so they will be formatted for your screen
or window size and will print properly.
The formatting syntax is based
on the
nroff/troff
utilities;
nroff/troff
macros and
a
Makefile
are included in the
help_tools
directory
to assist in producing hard copies of the files.
See the comments
in the
Makefile
and
head.man
files, in the
help_tools
directory, for more information on printing.
