This page contains information that tells you how to navigate among the pages of this manual, and nothing more. You may want to check the page entitled About This Manual for other information you could be seeking for, for example for instructions on how to give feedback (comments, suggestions, proposals, and so on) about this manual or the R.O.M.E.68000 system. If, instead, you are looking for an introduction to the R.O.M.E.68000 system, you should read the page entitled, exactly, Introduction.
This manual has the obvious, simple tree structure of pratically every technical book: at the top level, it is divided into chapters; chapters, in turn, are divided into sections; normally, sections are the leaves of the tree, but sometimes they still have springoffs. The root is the page entitled Table of Contents, that contains hyperlinks to every other page of the manual; in addition, indexes of the sections of a chapter are repeated at the beginning of the chapter itself; and whenever a section is further subdivided into subsections, it will contain the relevant index. All these indexes allow you to move ``downward'' along the tree, from the root toward the leaves (actually, you can move directly from the root to any other point); to move ``upward'', from the leaves toward the root, you can use the navigational buttons that you find both at the top and at the bottom of each page (the first two pages have such buttons only at the top). These navigational buttons are described below in greater detail.
In addition to being organized in a tree structure, the pages of this manual are also totally ordered like the pages of a book: you can read them in order, from the first (the cover page) to the last. Normally, you would do so the first time you read the manual, and then you would take advantage of the tree structure to jump quickly to a given point, thus using this hypertext as a reference manual. To ``turn over'' the pages (forward and backwards), use the navigational buttons described just below.
We are now going to describe the navigational buttons that you find both at the top and at the bottom of (almost) every page. Each button is depicted, followed by a brief description of its action. If a button is missing on a page, it means that you can not move in that direction: for example, the first page does not have the ``Prev[ious]'' button, since there is no page before it; the table of contents does not have the ``Table of Cont[ents]'' button; this page does not have the ``Help'' button; and so on.
Move to the previous page (in the total order of all pages). In other words: turn over one page, backwards.
Go to the table of contents. The table of contents lists every page of the manual.
Go to the help page, that is, this page! Probably you pressed this button to come here.
All the buttons containing un upward pointing triangle take you up one step in the tree structure; for example, if you are reading a section, you end at the beginning of the chapter containing that section. This button comes in more than one variation: the text inside the button suggests you the page into which it leads.
Move to the next page (in the total order of all pages). In other words: turn over one page, forward.
The following button appears only at the top of each page.
Go to the home page of the R.O.M.E.68000 initiative. This page contains general, non-technical information about the R.O.M.E.68000 system.
If your browser supports the LINK element of HTML (as, for example, NCSA Mosaic 3.0.0), you can also use the buttons associated with the LINKs to move from one page to another. Each page of the R.O.M.E.68000 manual is properly LINKed to the suitable other ones (see the HTML sources).
