0.2 Before Starting, Conventions etc

At least 2 things are required before you start using Vnmr(J):

• knowing basic ideas/commands to handle files in Unix
• knowing how Vnmr(J) uses files/directories while working

You better don't go on without reading the subsections of this section (you can skip Section 0.3 if you have experience with Unix).

Conventions

• We will use Vnmr(J) to refer to both, the classic Vnmr^TM and the new VnmrJ^TM (the classic Vnmr^TM here includes VnmrJ^TM in the classic view, obtained
• When a comment referes to only one of them, its name will be stressed
  
• Vnmr(J) commands, arguments and parameters are written (type style) as commnads
  
• Directories and files are written as /my/directory
• Buttons are shown as (sorry for the button border, it's a netpbm problem)
• the $HOME variable represents the home directory of the user for witch it is defined (e.g. /export/home/vnmr1 for the vnmr1 user).
