HOW TO READ THIS MANUALL+: -- HOW TO READ**+ ____________________________________________
D I S C L A I M E R
Although this manual has been very carefully edited by the
author, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by Brown
University as to the accuracy of the material, nor shall the
fact of distribution constitute any such warranty, and no
responsibility is assumed by the author or Brown University in
connection therewith.
reference F R This is a _________ manual for FRESS ("_ile _etrieval and
E S S _diting _y_tem"). Anyone interested in learning what FRESS is and
its unique approach to text-processing should find this manual
useful. However, it should be noted that specific references are
made to the installation at Brown University where FRESS runs
under VM/370.
ORGANIZATION ____________
Section 1 serves as an introduction to FRESS, including
possible applications, support available, and a brief overview of
FRESS -- which is in no way intended to stand alone. Section 2
explains how to invoke FRESS and the characteristics of each
version (for different terminals). Because of the sophisticated
editing features that enhance the capability of older hardware,
FRESS has necessarily reserved many characters for special control
operations. A discussion of these is supplied in Section 3. All
codes necessary to format a document are described in Section 4.
Standard FRESS commands are explained in Section 5. "House
Functions" are a special type of FRESS command that perform
"house-keeping chores"; they are described in Section 6. Section
7 is a technical, though thorough discussion of the Command Macro
Facility, which includes a list of the system-supplied Command
Macros. Appendices cover the justification algorithms, different
types of Structure, keyword specification, boolean requests,
lists of commands, what to do if problems occur, and a long list
of system messages. The Table of Contents serves as an index.
