Instructions for Running the CVA Algorithms and SNePS on UB CSE Machines

Modified: 05/22/02

Start Lisp From within Emacs or XEmacs, press M-x (the M-x is generated by pressing the Esc + x keys), then type run-old-acl. Note: This will ONLY work if you have already added (load "cselisp.el") to your .emacs file (click here for a sample .emacs file). From shell prompt, type old-acl.

To load SNePS, at the Lisp prompt type: (load "/projects/snwiz/bin/sneps") or :ld /projects/snwiz/bin/sneps

At the Lisp prompt, to load the noun algorithm, type: (load "/projects/rapaport/CVA/mkb3.CVA/src/code") or :ld /projects/rapaport/CVA/mkb3.CVA/src/code

Now start SNePS by typing (sneps) at the Lisp prompt.

Load your demo (CVA passage) by typing (demo "<pathname>/<filename>") at the SNePS prompt. <pathname> = path to directory where demo file is found <filename> = demo file name Example CVA demos can be found in /projects/rapaport/CVA/mkb3.CVA/demos/ Refer to these demos, to see what must be included in your CVA passages to run correctly. Notice that the demos load the noun algorithm; thus, if we run a demo, it is not necessary to manually load the noun algorithm as above. It is also important to note that prefixing anything by a ^ at the SNePS prompt or within a demo file will allow you to call something in Lisp from SNePS.
