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
