Is there exist a possibility to transfer a DSEE model file to a (standard) Unix Makefile? The kind of model file I'm transferring has about 6 different targets, so using mkmf or something like that won't work. Thanks for any help...

We ship SCCS => DSEE. make <=> DSEE was on the plate for DSEE V4. I even wrote a design doc about it (which you reviewed, I believe). It fell off when the pedal hit the metal, along with a few other wonderful features when we got down to the nasty business of making a product real and getting it out the door. What we did instead was discussed at ADUS, and should be formally announced pretty soon. Attracting new customers WAS a major consideration in our decisions on what to do and what to defer. I won't speak for the primordial past, but since I've been in the DSEE group (3 years), we've all had three ears -- one for the internal user community within Apollo, one for the current customers, and one for potential customers. >This doubtlessly has something to do with the reason why Apollo is >now not Apollo and the core of the original DSEE group now has their >own company doing _portable_ CASE. As is the current DSEE group. As we said at ADUS, DSEE V5 will be portable. We're not sure yet _how_ portable it will be, but it will certainly be available on OSF. -- David Lubkin DSEE Project Apollo Systems Division, Hewlett-Packard lubkin@apollo.hp.com
