Documentation for P-STAT Version 2.23, Acrobat Format
Updated documentation for new releases is
installed with the P-STAT system. Use the command
"HELP NEWS $" .
P-STAT documentation is available in 13 manuals plus a separate
index. These manuals have been updated to reflect
changes through Version 2.23 release 10.
You may download theses manuals from this web site and access them
with the Acrobat reader which is free from Adobe Systems
Incorporated (www.adobe.com).
February 2008
All manuals have had minor updates and changes
to make the indexing more consistent.
The use of Acrobat and .pdf files means that you can directly
access the appropriate manual and page from the index or from the
various tables of contents.
The documentation is stored in zip files which can be used with any
decompression software which can read PKZIP formatted files. Once
unzipped, the resulting pdf (ACROBAT) files can be moved to and
read using the ACROBAT reader on any machine which has the ACROBAT
reader installed. If you have only gunzip available, you may rename
the files so that the extension is "gz" rather than "zip".
The procedure for obtaining the manuals is simple. Download the
ones you want to the directory where they are to reside and unzip
or PKUNZIP each module in turn to uncompress it.
