About this Online SEAMCAT User Manual
This is the SEAMCAT online user manual, realised by using the wiki technology, where you can find detailed information on how to use SEAMCAT.
Initially, the content of this online manual is identical with the content of current internal Help file that you may access from within SEAMCAT application. However with time the internal application Help file will be replaced with automatic references to this online manual, which would then become the central ultimate source of information on SEAMCAT.
You may find the relevant information in this User manual by consulting the Table of content, or by using the search function.
Anyone can browse this User manual freely without having to become registered user, but registration and login is required if you want to edit the pages, e.g. to correct errors, or to supply additional information and advices, which you believe could be useful for other users of SEAMCAT.
Note: to become a registered user on this Wiki with editing authorisation, please contact the European Communication Office (ECO) at seamcat @ eco.cept.org
