Generic Client Installation Notes

The make for the generic client produces two stand alone programs, getpadi and putpadi, which are useful as examples and for testing. Usage information is indicated when the programs are run without arguments.

The programs getpadi and putpadi retrieve and put data on a specified server. The server can be a "public mode" sever which is already running and is setup to provide specific databases, or it can be a "local mode" server, which opens a specified database.

The command line arguments for the stand alone versions are:

getpadi server object database st_year st_mon st_day end_year end_mon end_day nobs

putpadi server object database freqency st_year st_mon st_day nobs
