Re: [foxboro] Exposing Aliases in FoxDraw 9.0

I have never ported the xref utility to the 70 series platform.  I will =
add
this to my free-time to-do list.  Perhaps somebody "out there" in
Cassandra-Land has already done this, and will report back?

Since the utility is made up of Unix shell and awk scripts, I do not =
think
there would be much involved in the translation from 50 to 70 series.
If you do attempt the 50 to 70 series porting - I would recommend the =
free
cygwin package (www.cygwin.com) to make the AW70 Unix-like, and shy away
from nutcracker.  You'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

Mark,

I had actually been to the Cassandra site and found your utility but =
after
reading the install.txt file, I came to the conclusion, perhaps =
mistakenly,
that it would not work for me as all the displays I am using are 70 =
series,
built with FoxDraw 9.0 without an AW51 in site.  I suppose I could =
convert a
couple of the 70 series displays to 50 series, give it a whirl, and =
report
back.  As far as you know, will your script run in nutcracker?

The free xref tool available on the Cassandra site will expand any =3D =
FoxDraw
aliases for you in its connection reports. I am not sure how well this =
tool
will work with FoxDraw ver 9...... it hasn't been tested against that
version yet.

You can also get this cross-reference tool at:

Hi John,

The reason why you only see the alias names in the Foxview display is
because linked library objects or symbols are stored in another =3D =
graphical
file under /opt/customer/displib. In that graphical file you have to =3D
resolve the alias names to determine the real C:B.P value. A good help =
can
be =3D using the conversion tool (/usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/fdf_g and
/usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/sm1g) which converts the binary graph files into
textual ones with .g extension. I admit that reading this format is =3D =
tough,
for that I have created a graphical interface that separates the =3D =
structure
from the real data by using a 3-columns table layout.

Onderwerp: [foxboro] Exposing Aliases in FoxDraw 9.0


I'm doing some short-term contract work for a systems integrator whose
customer has displays built in FoxDraw 9 and being displayed in FoxView =
=3D 9
. I was brought up in the old days of Display Builder and Display =3D
Configurator on AW/WP 51's when display work was harder but very
straightforward. The customer in question has displays that use linked
library objects and aliases.  While I can see the individual aliases by
right clicking in FoxView, I have yet to figure out how to get d_edit to
show me the true C:B.P's  for these objects instead of just C, B, and P =
as
alias names.  =3D I've downloaded and read B0193WG, especially Appendix =
A on
d_edit but still haven't got it figured out.

I've been reading these posts for a long time and this is the first time =
=3D I
have ever put up one of my own.  As my friend, Tom VandeWater has said,
there is an astounding amount of knowledge among the folks on this list. =
=3D
I hope someone can dribble a little of it in my direction.

Thanks!

John W. Smith
