XPP TABLE OF CONTENTS
This tutorial will show you how to create files and run XPP
as well as give you a brief overview of dynamical systems.
Technical Setup
In order to run this tutorial properly, you must alter
your .mailcap and
.mime.types files so that the
viewer knows what to do with the XPP files that are used in
the tutorial. If you already have these files in your home directory,
just add the lines in the two files to your existing ones. You also
must be able to run XPP on your local machine. The command to
call XPP must be xpp (The default compiled version
is xppaut thus, you should make a link to that called xpp
or just change it's name. Or, just change the xpp in
the .mime.types and .mailcap files to
xppaut .)
Since this tutorial takes a long time to run you might want to try it
locally rather than over the network. In that case, get the
compressed tarred files put them in a directory, uncompress and
untar them. Then load index.html into your viewer.
How do I get XPP?
Just ftp the program from
ftp.math.pitt.edu/pub/bardware and
pick up xppaut1.x.tar.Z and f2clibs.tar.Z or just
pick up the binary for your computer and the documentation,
xpp_doc.ps.Z
It is usually best to go through the various sections in order, but
you can jump to any heading by clicking on it.
