running simcon under unix:

1.	simcon and the user model run as two co-operating processes.
	they use pipes for synchronization.

2.	user models must be compiled under the "fc" compiler and
	linked with the apropriate main program and libraries.
	the "model" command will linkedit its first argument with
	the proper files. if more than one object file is needed
	then the list should be in quotes. 

	model umodel.o
	model "umodel.o sub1.o sub2.o"

3.	since "model" uses fc to do the linkedit a fortran source
	file may be passed instead and a compile and linkedit will
	be done. e.g.

	model umodel.f

4.	once an "prog##" file has been obtained from the "model" 
	command simcon may be run. e.g.

	simcon

	optionally units may be assigned on the simcon command 
	as follows:

	simcon 1=batch-set-commands  2=user-common-block 107=plotter

	unit 1 defaults to "/dev/null"
	unit 2 defaults to "common"
	unit 107 defaults to "+plot" the plotter filter.

5.	the shell file "model" is:

	fc $1 /mnt/simcon/main2.o -ls -l
	mv a.out prog##

	"/mnt/simcon/main2.o" is the main program for the
	user model.

6.	the simcon common block source (unit 19) must be in
	the file "/mnt/simcon/simcon.dat" or be specifically
	assigned to unit 19. 

7.	misc topics:

	"graphics" command puts output to the plotter
	"view" command gives a printer plot
	"$cmd" executes "cmd" as a unix command
		e.g. $list model.f

8.	the following commands are available:

	get/reset
	quit/stop
	display
	set
	at
	plot
	unplot
	run/simulate
	leave/save
	time
	continue
	print
	graph
	view
	hd (hash table dump)
	init
