Notes on SLD PAW Usage on UNIX

Availability

The latest version of PAW++ is in:

/usr/local/cernlib/rs6000/pro/bin/paw++*

This should be added to one's PATH also.

Disk Space for Ntuples

We have 2 GB in /nfs/ravel/u1. Send a request to Richard for write access to this area. Once you do have write access create a subdirectory (same name as your UNIX account) to hold your files.

Getting the ntuple to UNIX from Jazelle

Making ntuples

At the moment there is only help available for making RWNs. The current scheme is to write out a Jazzdata file in a standard format and then convert that Jazzdata file to an ntuple (all this on the VAX).

The tools are all in $usr:[davidw.idageneral].

JZ2RZP.TEMPLATE..........standard output template
JZH......................utility to convert Jazzdata to ntuple (default is exchange format)

An example of this is $usr:[richard.test]Make_Wab_Ntuple.Com and WAB93.IDA. You must do:

 
 $set command $usr:[davidw.idageneral]jzh
 $set def $usr:[davidw.idageneral]
 $ JZH Convert your_file.Jazzdata your_file.RZDAT

The RZDAT file is the ntuple, which can be (binary) FTP'ed to UNIX.

Ntuples can be binary FTP'ed from SLACVX and used directly. In FTP one must issue something like:

 cd /nfs/ravel/u1/richard
 ftp slacvx
 .(login to ftp stuff) 
 .
 .
 FTP> binary
 FTP> get work:wab.rzdat

Reading an ntuple on UNIX directly from the VAX

Paw++> hi/file 1 /nfs/slacvx/sld_tmp0/scratch/richard/wab93.rzdat

Note that VAX files must be specified in UNIX format. The userdisk would be /nfs/slacvx/sld_usr0/richard/

Print a PS file by: (these will likely be replaced by macros.)

 
Paw++> for/file 50 ~richard/out.ps
Paw++> graph/meta 50 -112
Paw++> pict/plot ' '
Paw++> for/close 50
Paw++> shell lpr -Ppscl1 ~richard/out.ps

To use lpr you must specify pscl1 as your PRINTER env variable.
