\manSection{DESCRIPTION}
This describes the syntax for the string used to specify an RCCL/RCI
simulator program. 

There are three fields: the name of the simulator, 
the host machine where the simulator is running,
and the port number used for connecting to the 
simulator. Any of the fields may be omitted.

The simulator name is usually the user name under which the simulator
program is being run. If not specified, the simulator name is set to
the current user name.

The host name is an internet address for the machine where the
simulator is running. It is given in either number or name format,
preceeded by an {\tt @}. If not specified, the current
machine is assumed (using the special Internet address {\tt 127.0.0.1}).

The port number is used to connect to the
simulator server process. It is specified as an integer contained between
angle brackets ({\tt <>}). If not specified (and it usually is {\it not}),
the port number is obtained from the {\tt RCISimMux} entry
in the file {\filefont /etc/services}.

\manSection{EXAMPLES}
To specify a connection to a simulator running under the current
user name on the machine {\tt aragorn.foo.bar}, the simulator
address string 
\cverbatim
        @@aragorn.foo.bar
@endcverbatim
\noindent
would be used.

To specify a connection to a simulator running on the current
machine under the user name {\tt bill}, the simulator
address string 
\cverbatim
        bill
@endcverbatim
\noindent
would be used.
