HEPiX Version 3.0.5


This is the version file of the HEPiX scripts package for version 3.0.5.

This version adds some new features and fixes some bugs or wekanesses of both HEPiX X11 and HEPiX shell scripts. The following describes the details.

This is the last version before an important internal reorganisation of the distribution package, this is why there is not too much effort in the documentation and in the installation procedures as these will change by the end of june 1996.

Indeed, the HEPiX package is becoming too big as it is providing an important, complete, homogeneous and integrated interface to users. It had been decided to cut this package in order to give more flexibility to developpers to release new versions and bug fixes, as well as to make this package, less CERNiX and more HEPiX (which is already the case but not visible enough).

Therefore there will be 5 parts:

  1. HEPiX X11
  2. CERN customisation of HEPiX X11
  3. HEPiX Shell
  4. CERN customisation of HEPiX Shell
  5. Tools package (uco command, etc.)

Notes from previous experience to users who are customising the HEPiX scripts and recommendations

Here are some recommendations:


Shells


X11


Tools

  • add regenerate_fvwmrc Bourne shell script.

    This program is used by fvwm

  • Fix quota-warn bug

    it couldn't warn anything (this is now working) because of a badly defined pattern matching

  • xmsg.tcl

    A TCL script which display a message in a window. It can take it from STDIN

  • xmessage

    A public domain program which can display a message in a window. It can take it from STDIN.

  • uco-home

    A bug had been fixed. The program was badly linking to ../.@sys instead of .@sys. This is now fixed. However the uco command needs a complete review which will come later (HEPiX 3.0.6).

  • Note concerning the make.pl program

    The make.pl program hadn't been modified although major modifications need to be done due to the future reorganisation of the HEPiX scripts package distribution.


    Documentaion

  • Note concerning the documentation

    The documentation hadn't been modified although modifications need to be done due to the future reorganisation of the HEPiX scripts package distribution.

  • User guide

    The HEPiX user guide had been modified. There is a note about .tcshrc and .cshrc files
