Geometric Modelling


This class is about experimenting with a set-theoretic modeller called svLis (pronounced soo-liss).  This modeller was written at Bath, and is itself experimental, as it is intended for research work, not commercial use.  So the results may occasionally go a little awry...

1. Open a window (shell) on the machine at which you are sitting.

2. Choose which of the University Suns you're going to use (one
   of midge, mary, amos, ss1).  Let's let sun stand for the one you've chosen.

3. Type

    xhost sun

   (this allows the remote computer to plot graphics on your screen).

4. Type

    telnet sun

   then log in.

5. Once you're in, type

    ~ensab/run_svlis

   This will run the program (from my home directory).
 
 

[Another program that's there is run by typing ~ensab/run_voronoi - that's for later in the course.]
