How to set up Mocha

You need to execute these commands from a Linux machine. A fast linux machine that can be used for this class is Lauhau, but you can use any machine of your choice, provided it mounts the general departmental filesystems. Follow these instructions:

If you are using bash, then do source bash_setup
If you are using csh or tcsh, then do source csh_setup
Note: I updated these files on Saturday, October 2, 2004; you need to use the latest version.
Run Mocha by mocha & or, if you want to do it in text mode, mocha -t
Notice that if you use Mocha in text mode, you can also write scripts, and do: mocha -t < script > output
This is particularly convenient if you are running over and over the same commands (for example, the read_module command when you try to parse a module!)

Examples of Reactive Modules

Here are the examples cited in the manual, as well as additional examples. Note: look for files with extension .rm: those are the reactive modules files. The other files are the product of using mocha on those files, or accessory scripts. Oh, and don't complain that your browser believes those are music files! Mocha predates such frivolous things :-)

Note: The version of Mocha I put here is slightly different from the one you can find on the main Mocha webpage http://www-cad.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mocha For Homework 1, either version is fine. For later assignments, you need to use the version set up here.
