WPI Applications
The commands in this list start various applications available on many/
all CCC workstation at WPI. Typically they are far more involved than
those in the UNIX commands list. This list only gives the user an idea
of what is available and how to start, and the list is far from
complete. Also, strictly speaking, these are not UNIX commands, and
many assume X11 (X-Windows).
The syntax in the first three commands holds for both the C and f77 compilers.
