Tips

• Notes on BD Windows NT software, network, etc.
  These notes are for NuMI Windows NT users who have accounts in the Windows NT BEAMS domain.
• Advanced uses of emacs (from Alan W.)
• Advice for documents to be distributed electronically (Alan W.)
• CVS primer (Alan W.)
• Documentation on the random number generators GRNDM and RANECU (Alan W.)
• Notes on MS Word 7 <---> LaTeX conversion (Alan W.)
• Here is an example of a .emacs file customized for fortran. It is basically fortran.el with some minor hacks. I have made color highlitening work:
  • fortran keywords are in orange
  • comments are in red (including characters beyond col 72. This is really useful)
  • strings are in green
  In addition I have introduced two useful (in my opinion functions):
  • ctrl-c d : if typed when the cursor is at the enddo line it will highlight the entire do block. If the beginning of the do block is outside the screen, it will report the first line of the block.
  • ctrl-c i : as above, but for the endif line

Access to PC software from X-terminal and workstations.

At the present we have Microsoft Office and Scientific Workplace (very convenient interface to LaTEX and Maple) installed. Microsoft Project is available also. For further notes on use of these machines, see the following reference: Notes on \\numiwinctr and \\numiserver1. For tips on the use of MS Project on \\numiwinctr see Tips for Use of MS Project.
