WHICH splfile

"splfile"	-	A string. The name of the SPL file to locate.

returns: DSPHOME\spl\math\trapz.spl where DSPHOME is installation directory.

Example:

Same as above accept WHICH is specified in command form.

Example:

which fft

Remarks:

WHICH is a quick way of locating an SPL file. DADiSP automatically searches all of the directories returned by the GETSPLPATH function to locate the SPL file.
