Getting help
Since you are reading this, you obviously found one way of getting
help with Figaro. There are different sorts of help you can get:
- Run-time help can tell you about a command parameter while the
command runs and you are being prompted for the parameter value.
- On-line help in the narrow sense is information available via the
`fighelp' (Unix shell) or `help' (ICL) commands. Little more than
documentation for each command, and a classified list of commands is
available.
- The printed documentation, Starlink User Note 86 (usually written
SUN/86 for short), complements the on-line help, but does not include
it. SUN/86 describes the package in general, but not the commands in
detail.
- An extended, hypertext version of SUN/86, which includes all the
text of the printed version and the documentation for all the individual
Figaro commands, is available via the World Wide Web.
