The ADAM_PACKAGES Help Library

A Starlink HELP library giving general descriptions of all Starlink packages will be maintained in /star/help/adam_package.shl by the Starlink Software Librarian. The top-level topic will give a list, with a single line description, of all the standard and option packages and will be displayed if the user types:

ICL> HELP PACKAGES

The second level will be subtopics for the individual packages. Each subtopic will give a brief description of the package and describe how to start using it. Before any packages have been started up by the user, the command:

ICL> HELP package

will display the appropriate subtopic.

Environment variable ADAM_PACKAGES points to this help file.
