Uppsala Software Factory - How to ... ?

• set up a local version of this Web site: If you want to set up a local version of this system of HTML pages, you can download them. You may have to use "Save as..." and then "untar" the file as follows: tar xovpf saved_file_name; this will create a directory called manuals which contains all HTML pages. This main document is called gerard_manuals.html. The ftp-able version is updated about once a month; its manual versions are always identical to those of the currently available program versions.

• print a manual (or this document): to get PostScript or hard-copy output of any manual, open that manual and select the Print option in the File menu of your browser

• find macros etc. : check out the OMAC directory of public-domain files contributed by other O users

• find O-style symmetry operators : have a look at the collection of symm-op files

• find the right program to do the job: if you don't know if any of these programs (or which program) can be of help in solving your problem, use the inverted index. This is a very useful document if you are not familiar with the software !!!

• resolve impossible problems: send a mail to Gerard, if you are sure that the answer is not in the manual or the FAQ !!!

• cure utter and complete boredom (e.g., while you're waiting for your ESSENS jobs to finish): visit the archives of Dombo!
