Examples

To specify the paper types for a collection of printers:

   printer.dp1.paper:          A3
   printer.ps0.paper:          letter
   printer*paper:              A4

sets the paper type for dp1 to A3, for ps0 to letter, and everything else to A4.

Note that $AIPSROOT/.aipsrc should only be used to define resources which are not directly relevant to a particular AIPS++ system (as defined by the architecture in aipshosts (p)). This is prompted by the desire that where there are several systems each should be self-contained and independent of the others. Examples of resources which may appropriately be defined in $AIPSROOT/.aipsrc would be those relating to inhale (p)), since inhale can be thought of as operating at the $AIPSROOT level.

$AIPSARCH/aipsrc contains default values for all recognized resources and is maintained by the system. It should not be modified; overriding definitions should instead be made in any of the other aipsrc files in the sequence.
