GRNAME User name GRADDRES GRPHONE Phone number GREMAIL E-mail address GRIPE will ask for values of these adverbs and set them to your answers if they are blank initially. ---------------------------------------------------------------- GRIPE Type: Verb Use: GRIPE is used to make an entry in a file of suggestions and complaints directed to the managers and programmers of the AIPS system. It also sends the entry immediately to them via e-mail. Each entry should, in time, receive a formal, internally published reply. The verb will ask you for your name, address, and phone number and expect a one-line answer for each. It asks for this information only if the relevant adverbs are blank. In this case, it will fill in the adverb values with your responses. Then it will ask you for your suggestion or complaint and will read many lines (one line at a time). To terminate your Gripe, leaving it recorded in the file, type _END or _end. To terminate your Gripe without recording it in the file, type _FORGET or _forget. To assist the staff, please (1) confine each Gripe to a specific topic, (2) give details, and (3) use upper/lower case letters in your typing. The verb automatically records the version of the AIPS program you are using and the name of the computer on which you are using it. If the gripe refers to these, there is no need to enter that information. If it refers to some other version or computer, please tell us. There is no editing verb for Gripes, although the verb GRDROP will delete any specified gripe (by number). To find your gripe number use the verbs GRINDEX and GRLIST to index all current Gripes and to list any specified Gripe, respectively. Thus, one edits a gripe by adding a new gripe with or without GRDROPing the previous one. Adverbs: Used if not blank, else filled in. GRNAME......User name - 20 characters. GRADDRES....User address - 48 characters. GRPHONE.....User phone number - 16 characters. GREMAIL.....User email address - 48 characters. Gripes may also be submitted from outside AIPS. The program is run by entering one of GRIPE TST GRIPE NEW GRIPE OLD depending on which version of AIPS you normally use.
