Local System Documentation

Here are some informative documents which may help you use the ITP computer systems and software. Document formats are: html hypertext which can be viewed in the web browser; dvi which will be viewed externally using xdvi; ps postscript which will be viewed externally using ghostview. The external formats require that you are using the X Window System and may take a few seconds to display.

Please don't forget about the man command! Almost every program has a standard man page installed!
