DevTool DEVTOOL Is an interface between the VAX operating system and the user. DevTool enables user-assigned default parameters for specific system commands. The user may also define a default filename specification for the entire set of DevTool commands. DevTool is TRANSPARENT to the user. DEVTOOL was originally written in DCL at Milton Bradley Co. This much improved BASIC/DCL version was written at Amherst Associates in order to improve speed, versatility, maintainability, and general operation. DEVTOOL has been extensivly tested and used, in all its incarnations, for several years now so it should be "Bug Free", but as we all know.... DEVTOOL has been tested under VMS V4.0 and works well. A V4.0 version of DEVTOOL is included. To use DEVTOOL under V4.0 simply rename NewDevV4.EXE to NewDev.EXE It is advisable, for speed reasons, that a system-wide logical be set up for the DevTool directory... $ Assign/System Sys$SysRoot:[SysUTL.DevTool] Sys$Devt: ... and that the program NewDev be installed on the system... $ run sys$system:install Sys$Devt:newdev.exe/open/shared/header /exit The program SHDEV.EXE provides a fast way to see what Work_Areas #1-#9 have been set to. Define this in your DevSetUp.com... $ wh :== $Sys$Devt:ShDev If you envoke ShDev with a work_Area on the commandline you will be shown that Work_Area's definition in BOLD. *********************************************************** ***** ***** ***** For more information please read DEVTOOL.DOC. ***** ***** ***** *********************************************************** If you have any questions, Comments, or Suggestions please contact...
