These notes by Gerald L Fitton.
Since the recent substantial reduction in the price of PipeDreamá4
PipeLine has gained many new subscribers who are also new to PipeDream.
I have received requests from these new users (and some 'old' ones) for
an elementary guide to using PipeDream.
I am indebted to Ernie Cobbold for making his excellent text book for
beginners called "Elementary PipeDream" available to PipeLine
subscribers as a set of three discs. Between them the discs contain 17
files in Spark compressed format; the third disc contains files which
are used as part of the exercises and 'answers' to problems set as part
of the tutorials.
The Contents
The contents of the three discs contain tutorials on the following
topics loosely classified as word processing, spreadsheet and database.
