Help for IBISX

PURPOSE

   This program displays the contents of an IBIS file.  The display
mechanism was copied out of ibis-list and is similar to ibis-list.
Along with displaying the contents, ibisx will display the
statistics.  Only the data that is displayed are used to
calculate the statistics.


EXECUTION

be printed, prints the rows and calculates the statistics on the
rows that were printed.

This command will display ibis file x1 starting at row 2 and
display 10 rows.

   ibisx inp=x1 skip=5 percent=10

This command will display every 5th element.  The total number
of displays will equal 10 percent of the number of rows.
