Hi all; Today has been a major fight, about a 3 rounder, but I lost 2 of them due to less than useful man pages.
Take limit3 for instance, has features that make it usable IF you can understand the docs. min, max, and maxv are moderately explained, IF one is cogniszant of the lingo, but what the heck is maxa? Yes, its mentioned in the 1/2 screen man page, but no explanatory text. Badly needs it. Then gearchange, which sounds as if it would be useful to keep the requested speeds fairly consistent between what you typed, and whats displayed in the tach display. In the man page it says the gain2 ranges from 1.0 up to whatever floats our boat. So I measured the difference between the two physical gears and came up with a 1/2.28 ratio. sounds good and closely matches what I had previously measured. So I put it in low gear at about 120 revs, and toggled the .sel line, to be greeted by 28 rpm on the tach, its not a multiplier, but a divisor! So, could we at some point, have a gearchange that works like the man page says it does, or an accurate man page? Thanks.
