I use VAXset v10, and now have the CDrom with DECset v11. Looking through the release notes it seems that massive changes have been made to LSE and SCA. The SCA changes look quite interesting, but the LSE changes have me a bit worried. I'm in the middle of a project and can't take the time to learn the new stuff and teach it to the other guy here. The SCA stuff, however, looks quite appealing and I'd like to be able to access it. The release notes mention a bunch of compatibility settings, but really only hint at them. The only manuals on the CDrom are guides, and don't talk about back-compatibility at all. The reference manuals aren't on the CD! They are in the product kits and you have to install the stuff to easily get access to them! (That's a first, as far as I know, and one I don't like, the reference manuals should be on the CD.) So, anyone know the story? Can I install this stuff without rewriting my section files and language environments and relearning and retraining almost as though they were new products? Or should I resign myself to not having this stuff till I can devote a week to getting it all up to speed? If the compatibility stuff is all there, could anyone summarize how to turn it all on? Any other gotchas on DECset v11? Comments on the debugger (I know I'm drifting off topic for this group, but I thought I'd ask, since I'm here :-) ). -- Terry Poot <tp@mccall.com> The McCall Pattern Company (uucp: ...!rutgers!depot!mccall!tp) 615 McCall Road (800)255-2762, in KS (913)776-4041 Manhattan, KS 66502, USA
