Step 1 - Database Schema and Prototype HTML

The slice0.tar content is created by hand. It shows the starting point for Platypus application development: a prototype of each page of the application, and a database schema for the application. The database schema was created using DODS. Technically DODS will also have created numerous other files, but these are ignored until a later step.

To use Platypus tools, you will need to have $PLATYPUSDIR/output/bin and $ENHYDRADIR/output/bin on your command PATH. The Platypus bin should come before the Enhydra bin.
