Moloc for Beginners

Topics for Beginners

These topic do not intend to give an exhaustive description of the treated functionality, but rather present a specific example point by point. It is hoped, that upon working through the exercises, the user will get acquainted with the basic ideas and will be able to utilize aditional functionality through analogy and generalization.
In the course of these tutorials some example files are needed. They can be found in the 'moloc/dat' directory from where they can be copied into the current directory where the exercises take place. Alternatively, these files can directly be accessed from within Moloc by specifying file names with directory path '$DAT' whenever a file name is requested. The alias 'DAT' is defined at startup time and is known to Moloc. It points to the above mentioned directory.
In the course of the tutorials a test project 'my_project' is developed which generates several additional files. Some of the more advanced tutorials refer to such files. Thus, is is advisable to practice through the first few tutorials before progressing to the later ones.
