The following paragraphs list manuals that are related to the use of the TACL product,
either as a command interpreter or as a programming language.
Prerequisites
The Guardian User’s Guide presents introductory material about the TACL product,
including:
•
Use of TACL as a command interpreter
•
Defining function keys
•
Writing simple macros
•
Using DEFINEs
To gain a basic understanding of the use of TACL, read the first four sections of the
Guardian User’s Guide before using this manual. You should also be familiar with
basic programming concepts and terminology, such as “pushing” and “popping”
(creating and deleting) variables, using arguments, and so on.
Corequisites

Programming Guide presents task-oriented material and examples. (The TACL
Programming Guide does not, however, contain descriptions of restricted commands
and functions.) Additional sources of information depend on your use of the TACL
product. Manuals of possible interest include:

Manuals about debugging programs in languages other than TACL (that you run
from TACL), such as the Debug Manual and the Inspect Manual.
