Re: [foxboro] d_edit vs d_edit50 vs dconn

Tim,

d_edit is a front end script for d_edit50.  It exists to provide
handling for legacy display manger graphics for the old Intel based
stations.  On current workstations, d_edit passes your commands
directly to d_edit50.

dconn is/was an unsupported Foxboro tool from what I understand.  I am
unfamiliar with it.

The main difference between the -r/R and the -l/L options are that the
-r/R report provides group names and hierarchy overview in addition to
the information provided by the -l/L reports.

Regards,

Kevin
