This manual serves at the same time as a Reference manual and as a User Guide for the COMIS system. Historically the following IHEP (Institute for High Energy Physics, Moscow Region, Russia) people have worked on the COMIS system: V. Bereshnoi, S. Nikitin, Y. Petrovych and V. Sikolenko. At CERN René Brun has contributed to the development of the system.
In this manual examples are in monotype face and strings to be input by the user are underlined. In the index the page where a routine is defined is in bold, page numbers where a routine is referenced are in normal type.
In the description of the routines a * following
the name of a parameter indicates that this is an output parameter.
If another * precedes a parameter in the calling sequence, the
parameter in question is both an input and output parameter.
