Several commands that are supported in most, but not necessarily
all, variants of Unix are executed by PADE. The user should verify
that these commands are available on the development host:
- man and col - PADE executes the man program piped
through the col program in order to display man pages. The
col program filters reverse line feeds from its input and is
used for proper formatting of man pages in the display window. These
programs are included in most Unix operating systems.
- wc - The word count (wc) program is executed by pvmmake
to determine PVM packing information when transferring files. This
program is included in most Unix operating systems. The user should
note carefully the last section in Chapter 3 with regard to
the wc program.
- use of man pages - PADE provides online access to man pages
that provide basic descriptions of PVM. These man pages are provided
with the standard PVM distribution and therefore can be accessed by
the man program by augmenting the MANPATH environment variable.
