NAME

rdinfo - on-line doumentation system for the <PLOT79> graphics & software development package

SYNOPSIS

rdinfo

DESCRIPTION

Rdinfo is an on-line information system to assist in the utilization of the <PLOT79> graphics package and accompanying software (sf3, pretty, slides, tmacro, etc.). It is based on the help system of the Emacs text editor, and is self documenting: an initial screen of instructions is followed by a command prompt. Responding with ? or h produces a list of commands.

Although it is locally extensible, rdinfo as supplied documents only the following parts of <PLOT79>: rdinfo, the FORTRAN bit and character primitives, the <PLOT79> directory (including driver programs such as grapht, graph3t, and piechtt), the PORT library, pretty, and slides. As distributed, much of its information (for example, that concerning the availability of specific device-related versions of programs) is specific to the home site of <PLOT79> at the University of Utah.
