Commands are organized in four PullDown Menu's
(i.e. File, Edit, Process and
Help). In most cases you don't need to use the
Menu's, because most commands are also found in the
command icon tool bar.
The MenuBar buttons can also be activated by typing the
<Meta> key and the mnemonic character (the
mnemonic is the character that is underlined). Commands in
the PullDown Menu's can also be activated by only
typing a mnemonic character.
Spock has organized the technology data, you can enter,
in a number of tabpages. Each tabpage has a number of
sections, which can be opened. Futhermore, the data must be
entered in cells of spreadsheets or in paramlist fields.
A spreadsheet row must first be created (by "Insert
row"). To give a cell a value, you must first put the
cell in edit mode. Click on the cell and use the
"Enter" key, or double-click on the cell. To leave
the edit mode, use again the "Enter" key, or go to
another cell with the navigation keys.
Before you can start, you must initiate a process (see
the following commands).
Click on the "New process" command, to start
data entry for a new technology.
Click on the "Open process" command, to
continue data entry (or modification) for a saved process
data file.
Click on the "Save process" command, to save
the data entered into the spock interface. Don't
forget to do this, before you click on the "Quit"
button and exit spock without any warning.
Click on the "Generate" command, to generate
technology files for the current process.
