SETUP

Preamble

The SETUP command has been provided (as on Vax) to make available packages.

Example: setup edwin

In fact, the command SETUP <X> transfers control to command file <X>:SETUP.COM.

Available SETUPs

The following is a list of packages which may be made available in this way.

EDWIN   :  Edinburgh Graphics library
ESDL    :  Edinburgh Circuit Design package
GKS     :
ILAP    :
IPLOG   :
OFFICE  :  Electronic Office utilities
USEFUL  :  Utilities provided by CS4 for general use. See HELP USEFUL
VLSI    :

There are others and any user may make a SETUP file simply editing up SETUP.COM.

Important Note

On the current 1-process operating system SETUP <X> is implemented by switching input to a command file <X>:SETUP.COM. This means that SETUPs buried in command files will cause control to be switched out from the command file - it may not be switched back. Command files may therefore only contain one SETUP command which should be the last command in the file.
