Re: [foxboro] FV DMNAME objects smurfing

True enough, but I am kind of hoping to tease some indication of the
"official" Foxboro position on this from one of our Foxboro colleagues.

William,
 
a)  The AW70 does not support the \etc\fox\user_apps.dat function. There are
some files located in the directory but you cannot execute anything from
these files on boot up of the AW70.   I have not tested the Server 70 but I
suspect - no, it does not support the user_apps.dat function.
 
b) the \usr\fox\bin\fox_apps.dat is the method for starting custom
applications. Since this also starts the Foxboro apps, care is required to
ensure OM and FoxAPI and other apps are (100%) started before you
application gets started otherwise some of your calls might fail.  The other
thing to consider is to save this custom file in event that a Foxboro
release upgrade over-writes the file.
 
Regards,
 
Terry
 
 
 
So, a) does the user_apps.dat function exist on 70 series stations?
and, b) if not, what is the preferred method of starting custom apps
        on an AW70 ?

Regards,
William C Ricker
