Such instructions can normally be found in local system documentation or in Appendix C of Volume A. After having acquired this knowledge, new users should read Chapter 2 Volume A carefully. This will give a basic introduction to the MIDAS system with some examples. <P> <BR><HR> <ADDRESS> <I>Petra Nass</I> <BR><I>1999-06-15</I> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
