About the old NEURON reference manual

Dear,

I came across a function called "fstim()", it works quite handy, it helps to see the doc string though.

The current document refers to it as:
Consider this obsolete. Nevertheless, it does work. See the old NEURON reference manual.

So just a general question, where can we see this "old NEURON reference manual" ?

thanks.

It doesn't have a doc string, isn't going to get one, and there's not guarantee that it will work in future releases of NEURON. "Obsolete" means "don't use it in developing new code."

That refers to the old version of the Programmer's Reference, sometimes also called "legacy help files." Go to

and click on
Programmer's Reference
and look for
"legacy help files"
