Some Octtools Usage
		-------------------

The octtools are located in ~octtools (/u4/cad/octtools).  You can
get information on individual commands by typing "man tool_name",
where tool_name is the name of the command.  There is documentation
available in compressed postscript form in ~octtools/document/PostScript.
Use "zcat filename | lpr" to print the documentation on the printer
in 214(?) Nichols.  The file "exampes.ps" is particularly useful.
There are some other documentation files in the directory ~octtools/doc.
