Notational Conventions

We will attempt to follow certain conventions in this manual.

1. Computer hostnames, C language subroutines and new terms will be italized. Example: The main server for QTL Cartographer is statgen.ncsu.edu.

2. Directories (and folders), filenames and computer commands was well as program names will be in bold type. Example: Rmap produces an output file called qtlcart.rc in the folder Macintosh HD:QTLCartMac:test.

3. The content of files and snippets of code will be in the verbatim environment, which is a fixed width font.

   	set i=1
   	while ( i < 10 )
   	Rmap -A -V
   	@ i++
   	end
   

   UNIX commands will also be in this typeface. Also, a percent sign (%) should be understood to mean the UNIX prompt when in the context of UNIX commands.
