Welcome HenkTrumpie,

Your phrasing and the directory suggest that this is more a Windows question that a Unix one, but in any case, I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
  • Is this homework/assignment? There are specific forums for these.
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors do you get?
  • What OS and version are you using?
  • What are your preferred tools? (C, shell, perl, awk, etc.)
  • What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)
Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

There are probably many ways to achieve most tasks, so giving us an idea of your style and thoughts will help us guide you to an answer most suitable to you so you can adjust it to suit your needs in future.


We're all here to learn and getting the relevant information will help us all.



Kind regards,
Robin

paw-demos

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.

SEE ALSO

AUTHOR

       This manual page and the paw-demos script that it describes were written by Kevin McCarty <kmccarty@debian.org> for  the  Debian  GNU/Linux
       system (but may be used by others).  The demos themselves were written by various PAW contributors.
