INTRODUCTION</A>

<P>
The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce new users to <A NAME="tex2html21"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A>,
outline the <A NAME="tex2html22"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> environment, and enable you to make several
forms of graphics without having to know too much about <I>UNIX</I> and <I>UNIX</I> tools.  We will not be able to cover all aspects of
<A NAME="tex2html23"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> nor will we necessarily cover the selected topics in
sufficient detail.  Nevertheless, it is hoped that the exposure
will prompt the users to improve their <A NAME="tex2html24"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> and <I>UNIX</I> skills
after completion of this short tutorial.
