CMview Version 1.4 Collection CM5-5 Release Notes 1 : ABOUT VERSION 1.4, COLLECTION CM5-5 *************************************** CMview, the on-line documentation system from Thinking Machines Corporation, consists of a collection of on-line Connection Machine manuals, plus viewing software. The CMview Version 1.4 software is based upon WorldView Version 1.1, from Interleaf, Inc. It also contains the cmview shell script, which provides a convenient user interface to WorldView. CMview Version 1.4 differs from Version 1.3 in that it includes a few changes to this shell script. Collection CM5-5 is a set of manuals for CM-5 users; the manuals are current as of September 15, 1994. See Section 1.2 for the complete contents of the collection. There is no printed manual for CMview. See Section 3 for information on how to start up CMview. See the Getting Started document within CMview for information on how to use it. You can obtain information about CMview bugs by consulting its on-line bug-update file, cmview-1.4-final.bugupdate. By default, this file is in the directory /usr/doc. If it isn't there, ask your system administrator for its location at your site. 1.1 REQUIREMENTS ----------------- CMview Version 1.4 is supported on the SPARCstation IPC Model 4/40 and the SPARCstation 2 Model 4/75 running SunOS 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.1 Rev B, or 4.1.2. It runs under the X Window System using OpenWindows 3.0 with the Motif 1.1 or OPEN LOOK 3.0 window manager. (CMview should work using other workstations and window managers, but the underlying WorldView software does not explicitly support them.) 1.2 MANUALS ------------ Collection CM5-5 contains these newly revised manuals and release notes: o Getting Started in CM Fortran, Version 2.2 o CM Fortran User's Guide, Version 2.2 o CM Fortran Language Reference Manual, Version 2.2 o CM Fortran Libraries Reference Manual, Version 2.2 o CM Fortran Programming Guide, Version 2.2 o CM-5 CM Fortran Performance Guide, Version 2.2 o CM Fortran Release Notes, Version 2.2 And it contains these manuals, which were also in collection CM5-4: o CM-5 Technical Summary, November 1993 o CM-5 User's Guide, CMOST Version 7.3 o CMOST Release Notes, Version 7.3 o NQS for the CM-5, Version 2.0 (minus information on system administration) o Using DJM on the CM-5, Version 2.0 (minus information on system administration) o Using the CMAX Converter, Version 2.0 o Getting Started in C*, May 1993 o C* Programming Guide, May 1993 o CM-5 C* User's Guide, Version 7.1 o CM-5 C* Performance Guide, Version 7.1 o C* Release Notes, Version 7.1.1 o Prism User's Guide, Version 2.0 o Prism Reference Manual, Version 2.0 o Prism Release Notes, Version 2.0 o CMSSL for CM Fortran, Version 3.2 o CMSSL for C*, Version 3.2 Beta o CM-5 I/O System Programming Guide, CMOST Version 7.3 o ITS User's Guide, CMOST Version 7.3 o CM5-HIPPI User's Guide, CMOST Version 7.3 (preliminary) o CMMD User's Guide, Version 3.0 o CMMD Reference Manual, Version 3.0 o CMMD Release Notes, Version 3.2 o CMX11 Reference Manual, Version 1.6 o CM/AVS User's Guide, Version 1.0 o DPEAC Reference Manual, CMOST Version 7.1 o VU Programmer's Handbook, CMOST Version 7.2 The text of the manuals is generally identical to that of the printed versions; however, in the on-line versions we correct errors and omissions that are discovered in the printed versions; generally, these changes are marked by a revision bar in the margin. Therefore, if you notice a discrepancy between the printed and on-line versions of a manual, believe the on-line version. While the text of the manuals is basically the same, the appearance of the manuals has been changed from that of the printed versions to make them easier to read on-line. One result is that page numbers for the on-line version of a manual do not correspond to the page numbers in the printed version (chapter and section numbers generally do not change, however). 2 : GAINING ACCESS TO PREVIOUS COLLECTIONS ****************************************** Previous collections of CM-5 manuals may still be available at your site. Check with your system administrator to see if they are available and, if so, what cmview options you should use to gain access to them. 2.1 NOTES IN PREVIOUS COLLECTIONS ---------------------------------- If you have added a note to a manual in a previous collection, the note will still be visible in this collection if the manual has not changed. If the manual has changed, the note will not be visible in the new version. To view the note, you will need to open the appropriate file in the previous collection, if the collection is still available at your site. 3 : STARTING UP CMVIEW ********************** To start up CMview, issue this command at the UNIX prompt in an Xterm: % cmview The CMview welcome screen is then displayed. Use the -h option to find out about other cmview options. In particular, use this option to list the keywords that allow you to go directly to the tables of contents for individual manuals, bypassing the welcome screen. See the cmview man page on-line for complete information about this command. 4 : CUSTOMIZING CMVIEW ********************** You can customize CMview in various ways. For a brief overview, see the Getting Started document within CMview. To make customizations other than those mentioned in that document, you must edit or add to the resource settings in the local or system CMview defaults file. This file is called Iview, and has these locations: o The system Iview file for CMview is by default located in the directory /lib/cmview (It may have been put somewhere else when CMview was installed). o If you don't create your own Iview file, CMview creates it for you in your home directory. If you do create your own file, it must be in your X search path (a typical location is ~/X11/app- defaults/Iview). For a list of resources you can change, click on Contents in the Help menu to display the table of contents for the WorldView help system, then double-click on X resources.
