From: Todd Aven <decvax!seismo!maryland.ARPA!eneevax!umdhep@BERKELEY> MAIL and HELP are the only utilities that I know of that use SMG for actual screen formatting. I'd like to make a general request of info-vax subscribers: There are probably many out there who are working on termtables for the day when SMG is used by the majority of VMS utilities. I would appreciate it (and I am sure many others would) if successful terminal definitions could be posted to info-vax. We will eventually be dealing with termtables in a fashion similar to termcaps and UNIX news groups. And a bit of advice for new SMG users: The manuals aren't very clear about the logical name TERM$TABLOC. I got the impression that it should be an equivalence for the file name, but it should instead be an equivalence for the directory in which termtable.exe resides. For those who would like their termtable.exe mapped into global sections but don't want to reboot, I have written a veerrry short FORTRAN 4.1 program to delete the old global section. Then one can run sys$system:smgmaptrm to get a new global section installed. ============================================================ |Todd Aven MANAGER@UMDHEP.BITNET | |Softwear Sweatshop AVEN@UMCINCOM (arpanet, bitnet)| |High Energy Physics UMDHEP@ENEEVAX.UUCP | |University of Maryland | |College Park, MD 20742 (301)454-3508 | ============================================================
