# end for Cadence
After adding these lines, do: source .cshrc or source .tcshrc
To Run Cadence:
1. Cadence tools can be started from any directory by typing: icfb
2. And on-line manuals can be accessed by typing: cdsdoc
Note: When using cdsdoc, or viewing documentations via help menu item, sometimes one will be prompted with a pop-up window telling that either need to delete a file named lock under $HOME/.netscape/, or can choose cancel. We suggest you choose "cancel", and that will give you the documentation you want (no need to really start another netscape).
