GIST_FORMAT

DOCUMENT GIST_FORMAT
NOTE: gist is deprecated; postscript output is now the default

  is used by the hcp_out function to generate the system call which
  invokes the gist CGM browser and pipes its output to lpr.  This
  format should contain a single %s specification; after this %s is
  replaced by the name of the CGM file, Yorick invokes the system
  command on the resulting string.

  LPR_FORMAT is also used by hcp_out to process PostScript files
  made directly by Yorick.

  The default values are:

     GIST_FORMAT= "gist %s -f | lpr";
     LPR_FORMAT= "lpr %s";

Y_SITE

DOCUMENT Y_LAUNCH       the directory containing the Yorick executable
         Y_SITE         Yorick's "site directory" (platform independent)
         Y_HOME         Yorick's "home directory" (platform dependent)
  Y_LAUNCH is set by compiled code when Yorick starts and should never
           be modified.
  Y_SITE is set to a default built-in value by compiled code at startup,
           but may be modified in the file Y_LAUNCH/paths.i to allow for
           ports of Yorick binary executables.
    contains subdirectories i0/, i/, i-start/, and others
  Y_HOME is set to a default built-in value by compiled code at startup,
           but may be modified in the file Y_LAUNCH/paths.i to allow for
           ports of Yorick binary executables.
    contains file Make.cfg, subdirectories i-start/, lib/, and others
  if the compiled-in value of Y_SITE is incorrect (i0/std.i missing),
  then both Y_SITE and Y_HOME are reset to Y_LAUNCH/.., which allows
  relocatable yorick distributions
