Starting ctsimtext

CTSimText can be invoked via three different methods.
  1. CTSimText can executed without any parameters. In that case, CTSimText offers a command-line to enter the function-names and their parameters. The output of the command is displayed. Further commands may be given to CTSimText. The shell is exited by the quit command. CTSimText uses the readline library on UNIX and Linux platforms to provide command history processing.

  2. CTSimText can also be called to execute a single command. This is especially useful for batch files containing multiple CTSimText commands. This is invoked by calling
    ctsimtext function-name parameters....

  3. Using operating systems that support soft or hard linking of files (such as UNIX and Linux), the executable file CTSimText can be linked to the function names. This is automatically done by the installation program and the rpm manager. Thus, to use CTSimText with the function name pjrec, the below command can be executed:
    pjrec parameters...
    as a shortcut to the equivalent command
    ctsimtext pjrec parameters...
