(including Help text) for information on using and printing Help.

The Function Reference for the Host Interface Library (C-language version)
The VT1432A distribution includes manual pages for the VT1432A HostInterface
library. These manual pages can be examined on-line, using the“ptman”
command that is shipped in “/opt/e1432/bin.” For example, the manual page for
the “e1432_init_measure” function can be read by typing:
ptman e1432_init_measure
The distribution also includes a nicely formatted set of these manual pages,that
can be printed on any postscript printer. This manual in postscript form is in file
“/opt/e1432/man/man.ps.” Typically, this manual can be printed by typing:
lp -opostscript /opt/e1432/man/man.ps
Alternatively, if there is no postscript printer available, a plain text version of the
manual is in file “/opt/e1432/man/man.txt.” This can be printed on any line
printer.
Users of the C-language library will also find useful information about
theVT1432A in the VT1432A help text (see above).
