Documentation describing +its use and construction are provided in subdirectory doc. The file doc/sam.1 +contains the manual page; doc/sam.tut.ms is a tutorial that can be +formatted with troff -ms. It substitutes Bold and Italics for the +fonts named CW and CS; if your system has these fonts, remove the +CW and CS macros at the beginning of the file. The files doc/sam.ps +and doc/se.ps are postscript versions of published papers describing +sam and structural regular expressions. These papers reflect sam's +capabilities at the time of publication several years ago; while the +general description remains accurate, some functions may have changed +or been removed. Other files in the doc directory contain manual pages +for the library packages used by sam. + +Sam is composed of two programs: sam itself, which does the command processing +and file manipulation; and samterm, which controls the display and +interacts with the user. You can run sam on one machine and samterm on another +connected via remote execution. |
