What is SW_NAME? Where does it come from?

[Brief decsription of software; link to vendor]

SW_NAME on Athena

SW_NAME VERSION is the current default for all platforms (i.e., this is the version obtained from Dash or by typing: add SW_NAME_LC; SW_NAME_LC). SW_NAME VERSION_ALT is still available and may be run by typing:

       athena% add SW_NAME_LC; SW_NAME_LC -ver VERSION_ALT

General usage information can be found in the What Runs Where listing and in the SW_NAME_LC locker (type attach SW_NAME_LC; more /mit/SW_NAME_LC/README.athena).

SW_NAME at MIT

[standard for SUPPORTED software; modify as nec. for less-than-fully supported stuff; see SAS, Splus , e.g.]

SW_NAME is an officially supported software package for the MIT Athena Computing Environment. By "officially supported" we mean:

We try to provide current versions of SW_NAME on all Athena platforms. General usage information can be found in the What Runs Where listing and in the SW_NAME_LC locker (type attach SW_NAME_LC; more /mit/SW_NAME_LC/README.athena).
The Athena Consultants will help Athena users asking SW_NAME questions in OLC, and will maintain a collection of stock answers to common questions.
There is an Athena Minicourse on SW_NAME to help new users get started.
There is an introductory SW_NAME on Athena publication online; hardcopy is also available.
The Faculty Liaisons will assist faculty members and TAs who are trying to use SW_NAME for instructional purposes.
