The primary documentation for the USE facility is in USE.RNO and the corresponding USE.MEM. These files are identical to the paper to be published on this subject in the FALL 80 DECUS Symposium Proceedings. Read them over carefully for information. I apologize for the lack of a help file. Installation of USE. USE is installed by making the following definition in each user's login.com file: $ USE :=$DBA0:[SYSMGR.USE]USE modified to reflect the actual disk and directory on which USE resides in your system. In addition, USE refers to a logical name of DF: which on my system is defined in each user's login.com to point to their default disk and directory. This is referred to only in USE.FOR. What is needed is a pointer to some area in which the user will definitely have write access. Note that SYS$LOGIN doesn't include the device and may not suffice for this on some systems (such as mine). A line such as: $ ASSIGN 'f$logical("SYS$DISK")''f$directory() DF in each user's login.com will do the trick nicely. USE.USE is included so that you can modify USE if you wish. To install a system-wide default USE file (I use USE.DFT as provided here), put the following line in your SYSTARTUP.COM: $ ASSIGN DBA0:[SYSMGR.USE]USE.DFT USE_DEFAULT where, as usual, you stick in the disk and directory where these files are on your system.
