Do you need to use this manual? We hope that you will only need to use
it for a short time until you are familiar with the system.
Thereafter, we hope that the on-line help will be sufficient to guide
you. However, when that is not enough, this manual should provide you
with what you need.
This document is for those who plan to use the xlincks interface to the
LINCKS database system. It will guide you in performing both the
basic and more advanced tasks. We will do this by:
- giving a brief introduction to the LINCKS model and xlincks
as well as some of the common vocabulary used throughout,
- going through some of the paradigms used by the interface,
- going through in some detail in chapters 2
and 3 the tasks
that you may want to do within xlincks,
- giving an individual description of each possible command in
chapter 4,
- trying to answer some of the more frequently asked questions in
chapter 5.
- describe how to export (dump) parts of a database as a t2lincks
file in chapter 6.
- a brief documentation on how to write general presentation
descriptor (GPD) in chapter 7.
- defining some commonly-used terms in chapter 8.
