Documentation

Currently, there is existing documentation treating:

Getting Started in AIPS++.

AIPS++ Reference Manual.

Glish Tutorial.

Glish User Manual.

Synthesis Processing.

AipsView.

In addition, there are a number of programming manuals, along with collections of notes, papers and memos on AIPS++. All of which is available on the web at the AIPS++ home page: http://aips2.nrao.edu/aips++/docs/aips++.html

Changes to the environment in Green Bank will also be updated regularly here (specific url). Information can also be obtained through the help facility (again see the "Getting Started in AIPS++" document for more details). A brief synopsis follows.

Help can be obtained in a number of:

1. - help() : type help() at the aips++ prompt. This will review your help options.

2. - help('modulename') : Note: the modulename (e.g. table,plotter,etc) must be in single quotes.

3. - web() : This will drive your WWW browser to the AIPS++ Reference Manual (if you haven't recently tried help on a modulename) or to the modulename's help page (if you have executed a help('modulename') command.

Reporting Problems

There is a formalized method of reporting bugs encountered in AIPS++. Within AIPS++, the 'bug()' command will pop up a form which allows description of the problem and will then send the report to the appropriate people. In addition, the AIPS++ home page also provides a standard form; point your browser to:

http://aips2.nrao.edu/aips++/docs/contactus/reportbug.htm.

In addition, the person responsible for AIPS++ in Green Bank is Joe McMullin. He may be contacted at any time regarding problems (Office: 304-456-2236/Home:304-456-5369/E-mail:jmcmulli@nrao.edu).
