The Guide's Table of Contents Previous Chapter Bottom Of Page Next Chapter

The appendices provide documentation on various aspects of the QEF product, particularly those aspects that need to be readily available or conspicuous.

The last four appendices are x_db database entries or lists of the such entries, presented here for quick reference and for use within the web site.


Appendix A: QEF Installation Instructions

This appendix discusses installing and configuring the QEF product both on Windows and Unix or Unix-like systems.

Appendix B: QEF Licences and Associated Procedures

The QEF product employs an advisory licencing scheme. This appendix describes the types of licences available and how to acquire and install new licences.

Appendix C: Q-Tree Maintenance Procedures

Normal use of QEF will require a number of maintenance procedures to be followed on a semi-regular basis. These procedures and other system administration procedures are described in this appendix.

Appendix D: Using QEF on Microsoft Platforms

This appendix describes how to build some of the special files on Windows, such as DLLs and Pre-compiled header files. Working with Visual Studio and other issues unique to Windows are also discussed.

Appendix E: Q-Tree Command Summaries

This appendix, which contains much the same material as is presented by "Short Descriptions of the QEF Tools", contains the x-qef database entries for the tools of the QEF system. Each tool has a brief description and see references to other relevant documents. A list of all the tools is given at the beginning of the appendix.

Appendix F: The QEF Quick Reference Card

This appendix presents the QEF Specialist's Reference Card. This reference card contains lists of qvrs keywords, variables, and functions, qsg keywords, functions, list operators, and scripts, and finally qef macros and controls.
