1.1 root 1: .TI WWB
2: Text Analysis with the Writer's Workbench System
3:
4: Writer's Workbench (WWB) is a collection of programs to
5: do proofreading and stylistic analysis of text files,
6: together with checks for spelling, punctuation, diction,
7: and doubled words.
8:
9: The WWB programs are not automatically available to users since
10: they are located in a non-standard command directory, /usr/wwb/bin.
11: To make them accessible to you, you can edit your ".login" file
12: and add /usr/wwb/bin to your "path" variable.
13: If the following example is too brief, type "help .login"
14: and "help searchpath" for more information.
15: As an example, your ".login" file might contain the path definition
16:
17: set path = (/usr/ucb /bin /usr/bin .)
18:
19: which you could change to
20:
21: set path = (/usr/ucb /usr/wwb/bin /bin /usr/bin .)
22:
23: This would give you access to the WWB commands, which are:
24:
25: .nf
26: abst match prosestand splitrules wwbaid
27: acro mkstand punct style wwbhelp
28: deroff org punctrules syl wwbinfo
29: dictadd parts sexist topic wwbman
30: diction proofer spelladd wc
31: double proofr spelltell worduse
32: findbe prose spellwwb wwb
33: .fi
34:
35: Manual pages for these commands are available on-line via
36: the "wwbman" command (once your path has been set correctly),
37: and hardcopies are available from the Academic
38: Computing Services Library, 218 Evans.
39: Currently we provide no consulting or bug-fixing support for WWB.
40: The WWB system also comes with its own on-line
41: documentation system consisting of the three commands: wwbaid,
42: wwbhelp, and wwbinfo.
43:
44: As you experiment with them and the rest of the WWB system,
45: you may notice a different style of presentation from
46: the one to which you are accustomed.
47: For example, sometimes the output pauses after each screenful
48: and requires you to type RETURN to continue (not SPACE, with
49: which most users at Berkeley are familiar).
50: Sometimes the output does not pause at all; in these cases
51: you may want to redo the last command adding "| more" to
52: the end in order to read the output conveniently.
53: Also, references to BREAK mean the command-kill character
54: (or interrupt character), often Control-C.
55: The next two pages are taken from the manual pages for wwbaid.

69: .SH GETTING STARTED
70:
71: All users of the Writer's Workbench system will find the user's aid helpful.
72: For the old hand, it has many good memory-jogging features.
73: For the newcomer, the user's aid can be used as a learning aid.
74: .PP
75: On occasion, you may want a list of all the Writer's Workbench system commands.
76: To get a list, type:
77: .PP
78: .ce
79: .B "wwbaid cmds"
80: .PP
81: If you are not familiar with the Writer's Workbench system
82: or the user's aid,
83: you might find it convenient to use the on-line instruction session
84: as an introduction.
85: You can access it by typing:
86: .PP
87: .ce
88: .B "wwbaid instruct"
89: .PP
90: When you are familiar with the seven
91: .I topics
92: that answer questions about Writer's Workbench system commands,
93: use the
94: .B index
95: .I topic
96: to explore some of the features
97: of the Writer's Workbench system.
98: If you type:
99: .PP
100: .ce
101: .B "wwbaid open"
102: .PP
103: and press RETURN,
104: the program will answer you with:
105: .IP
106: .sp
107: For which Writer's Workbench system command do you want information?
108: .br
109: Type
110: help
111: if you need a list. Type
112: .B quit
113: to end this session.
114: .sp
115: At the prompt, type a command-name, help, or quit.
116: .br
117: =>
118: .PP
119: ``=>'' is a prompt for you to type a Writer's Workbench system
120: .I command-name.
121: Suppose you type
122: .B proofr.
123: The program will next ask you to enter a
124: .I topic.
125: (Your choices are:
126: .BR "bugs, description, example, index, options, format," " and " "uses" ".)"
127: If you chose
128: .B description
129: as your
130: .I topic,
131: the program would respond by printing a short passage
132: describing the
133: .I proofr
134: program.
135: Requests for other
136: .I topics
137: and other Writer's Workbench
138: system command-names
139: will be handled similarly.
140: Typing
141: .B quit
142: will end the session.
143: .PP
144: You can type the word
145: .B all
146: as your response to a request for a
147: .I topic
148: and as a response to a request for a
149: .I command-name,
150: or as a response to both.
151: You will get:
152: .IP a)
153: all information on one command, if you type
154: .B all
155: instead of a
156: .I topic.
157: .IP b)
158: all commands on one topic, if you type
159: .B all
160: instead of a
161: .I command-name.
162: .IP c)
163: all information on all commands, if you type
164: .B "all all" .
165: .PP
166: When you have become familiar with the Writer's Workbench system
167: and the user's aid,
168: you may want to use a more direct route to information.
169: .PP
170: For example, the command:
171: .PP
172: .ce 3
173: .B "wwbaid index all"
174: .sp
175: or
176: .sp
177: .B "wwbaid i all"
178: .PP
179: will print the complete index, and then exit.
180: .PP
181: Since every detail about the Writer's Workbench system
182: cannot be covered by the user's aid,
183: the command:
184: .PP
185: .ce
186: .B "wwbaid map"
187: .PP
188: will print a list of papers, reprints of talks,
189: and related references about the Writer's Workbench system.
190: .PP
191: Whenever you need a memory-jogger, type
192: .PP
193: .ce
194: .B wwbaid
195: .PP
196: for a list of the user's aid commands.
