PAW-DEMOS(1)						      General Commands Manual						      PAW-DEMOS(1)

NAME

       paw-demos - run PAW demonstrations

SYNOPSIS

       paw-demos [options] [example_num [test_num]]

DESCRIPTION

       paw-demos  is  a  script  to  run  the  demonstrations  of  PAW	in  the  paw-demos  package.   It will create a demo directory (by default
       $HOME/paw-demos), copy the demos from /usr/share/paw-demos to this directory, and run them.  Both examples and tests are available.

       example_num is the number of the example to start with; examples are skipped if example_num > 31.  test_num is the number of  the  test	to
       start with; tests are skipped if test_num > 8.  Note that the first example is numbered 1 but the first test is numbered 0.

OPTIONS

       --batch
	      Run demos in batch mode; output to PostScript.  The resulting output files are placed into a "linux" subdirectory of the demo direc-
	      tory.

       --clean
	      Clean the demo directory given by the --dir option (or the default directory if --dir is	not  given).   This  option  causes  exam-
	      ple_num, test_num, --batch, and --driver to be ignored.

       --dir dir
	      Specify  the  directory  in which to run the PAW demos, relative to $HOME.  If it does not already exist, it will be created and the
	      demos copied to it from the directory /usr/share/doc/paw-demos/examples.	The default is $HOME/paw-demos.

       --display display
	      Specify the display to use.  The default is the current value of the $DISPLAY environment variable.

       --driver driver
	      Specify a graphics driver.  Available options are "X11" for pawX11 and "++" for paw++.

       --help Show a summary of options.

FILES

       /usr/share/paw-demos contains the PAW demonstrations.
       $HOME/paw-demos is the default directory in which to run the demos.

NAME

       kuesvr - the CERN KUIP edit server

SYNOPSIS

       kuesvr -p pid -c cmd -t tmpfile [ -e editor ] file

DESCRIPTION

       kuesvr  is  a  small  program  called from KUIP.  (KUIP stands for Kit for a User Interface Package; it is part of the Packlib library from
       CERN.)  kuesvr allows the user to call up an editor from within a KUIP program (PAW, for instance) on the file given by file, and  continue
       to use the program asynchronously.

       In  general  kuesvr  is	not  called directly from the command line (in Debian it is not even located in the $PATH); instead it will be run
       automatically from a KUIP program when an editor is needed, as long as the command line set with KUIP's HOST_EDITOR command  ends  with	an
       ampersand  ('&'), and $DISPLAY is set.  If $DISPLAY is unset (or, on non-Debian systems, if kuesvr cannot be found in $PATH), the ampersand
       will be ignored.  For instance,

       PAW > HOST_EDITOR 'emacs -geometry 80x48 &'

       The editor is expected to create its own graphical window.  However, since 'vi' is a frequent choice, setting HOST_EDITOR to  'vi  &'  will
       automatically be interpreted as 'x-terminal-emulator -e vi &' instead.

OPTIONS

       -c cmd Specifies the KUIP command invoking the edit server.

       -e editor
	      Specifies  the  editor  to  be  used.  By default it is vi.  Even though this flag is optional, it will be set anyway when kuesvr is
	      called from the KUIP library.

       -p pid Specifies the process ID of the calling program.

       -t tmpfile
	      Specifies the name of the temporary file used for communication between the calling program and the edit server.	This is  a  Debian
	      extension  added	for  security reasons.	It is a required argument, so this version of kuesvr will not work with a KUIP application
	      using CERN's unmodified Packlib; nor will CERN's unmodified kuesvr work with the Debian version of Packlib.
