NAME
     paint_changed_characters,	paicc

SYNOPSIS
     paicc [ -h -c -mui -t -csae]

DESCRIPTION
     This  command turns the static output from one or more Unix commands into a
     dynamic, pageable, real-time display.  You specify the command(s)	and  the
     delay period between screen refreshes and Paint Changed Characters does the
     rest, including optimizations to minimize cursor movement and the number of
     transmitted characters.  (Patterned after the CYBIL version for NOS/VE.)

     The environment variable SHELL determines which shell will execute the com-
     mand(s).  If it is not defined /bin/sh is assumed.

     The  environment  variable  D_PAICC_C  can be defined to change the default
     command "ps -el".

       Example:

	 paicc	 # execute ps -el every second,
		 # (or the default command)

	 paicc -c "hostname>o;ps -ef>>o;cat o" -mui 3000
		 # execute ps -ef every 3 seconds
		 # with hostname on first line

       a command description with examples, plus a synopsis of
       the command line parameters.  If you specify -full_help

       if it's available.

     -command, c: string = D_PAICC_C, "ps -el"

       Specifies the command to periodically execute.  You can
       change the default value "ps -el" by defining the
       environment variable D_PAICC_C.

     -millisecond_update_interval, mui: integer = D_PAICC_MUI, 1000

       Specifies the number of milliseconds between command
       executions.  1000 milliseconds = 1 second.  You can
       change the default value by defining D_PAICC_MUI.

     -title, t: boolean = D_PAICC_T, TRUE

       Specifies whether to display the paint_changed_characters
       title line.  Define D_PAICC_T to change the default.

     -clear_screen_at_end, csae: boolean = D_PAICC_CSAE, TRUE

       Specifies whether or not a final 'screen erase' is done
       when you exit paint_changed_characters.	Remember, if you
       don't like the default value, define the environment
       variable D_PAICC_CSAE=NO.
