This program MUST be used in conjunction with the EDTSYS.EDT file supplied to define CONTROL-F as the XLATE callback character. (If you use a GIGI terminal then use the GGEDTINI.EDT file) If you don't like Control/F then you can change it by editing the EDTSYS file This Program defines the "E" command in its CLD definition file as the one necessary to invoke this version of the editor. (This so we will not conflict with the DEC supplied EDIT command with all its 99 flavors) To install: .5) Log on to a privileged account. 1) Make the program by running the command procedure "MAKE.COM" 2) Place all these files in some directory somewhere (protection = (W:RE) ) 3) Edit the file EDTSPN.CLD to reflect the proper location of EDTSPN.EXE 4) Apply the EDTSPN.CLD to the system DCLTABLES by: $ SET COMMAND/TABLES=SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES - /OUTPUT=SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES EDTSPN.CLD $ INSTALL == "$INSTALL/COMMAND" $ INSTALL INSTALL> REPLACE SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE INSTALL> ADD disk:[dir]EDTSPN.EXE/OPEN/HEAD/SHARE 5) Place the following lines in your SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP.COM file. $ INSTALL == "$INSTALL/COMMAND" $ INSTALL INSTALL> ADD disk:[dir]EDTSPN.EXE/OPEN/HEAD/SHARE This program is invoked By the "E" command and supports all The normal qualifiers supported by EDT. (the "/PASS_SYMBOLS" qualifier directs EDTSPN to pass PROCESS DCL symbols and Logical names to the subprocess.) NOTE: The "E" command does NOT support the invocation Of the addional Editors such as SLP and FDL. you Must use the normal "EDIT" command to invoke these addiotional editors.
