Re: [foxboro] Documentation of a Foxboro I/A system

Anton,
I'd say use FoxCAE if just want to back document your system.
It's fast and can handle all your nodes.

Subject: [foxboro] Documentation of a Foxboro I/A system

Dear All,
I would like to ask some input as to the best possible way to document
my system. I do require a method to back document a virtually
undocumented system and it MUST include the ability to generate loop
drawings, using data sucked from a running system.

I have a 3 node Unix system that has recently been upgraded from 51D to
P81 servers/workstations, SunOS 5.8, IA version 7.1.1. 

I am leaning towards the use of FoxCae, but I have been informed that it
is not the preferred tool, is no longer supported, and that IACC is the
way to go. 

I have a very negative view of IACC in its current format/version - it
is laden with bugs, it is not robust, it is seriously restrictive in its
operation,  is not intuitive and I will need serious convincing before I
would consider using it.

What are users out there doing right now?

Hope to hear from you soon,
Kind regards
