1.1     ! root        1: This is a preliminary how to make 1" videos.
        !             2: 
        !             3: The action takes place on two machines. the 1" (hereafter referred
        !             4: to as the 2500) is in pipe; the barco or source is on kwee.
        !             5: 
        !             6: before you start, set up the 2500 stuff on pipe by
        !             7: going to the 5620 near the midi rack and download two layers.
        !             8: the first layer is /usr/midi/bin/midiblt.
        !             9: the second (after the first has completed) is /usr/midi/bin/xttyblt -o -38400.
        !            10: This sets up a file called $HOME/.XTTY. If someone else
        !            11: has already done this, set the variable XTTY to the appropriate value
        !            12: (say /usr/gerard/.XTTY).
        !            13: 
        !            14: now you can run (on pipe) the 2500 command interpreter /usr/bin/2500.
        !            15: the command help will list the grammar.
        !            16: mostly you will want to run this from a script.

        !            18: 
        !            19: -------
        !            20: still 5.0.0
        !            21: wait
        !            22: !rx kwee generate a frame somehow
        !            23: snap [n]
        !            24: # repeat the last two lines as necessary
        !            25: still mode off
