Re: [foxboro] fdf 2 g

Claudio,

As you know if you copy a Foxdraw display to another box, it is not 
optimized.  By converting the to a .g and re-converting it to a .fdf 
will optimize it.  There are two problems with this.

1) the optimization is doing an object manager get (we think) for 
each item on the display.  (Then it stores there locations for faster 
future call up.)  Doing many of these at once for instance
#g_fdf *.g
could cause excessive loading on the nodebus.  (Unlikely but I think 
Jeff has seen this happen.)

2) the path variables are not set to use fdf_g and g_fdf.  If this is 
the case,
You need to set
opt/gms:opt/gms/bin
in the path

Also you need to add a variable
GMS_HOME and set it to /opt/gms

Then use a script like this
for file in *.g
do
  /usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/g_fdf $file
  sleep 2
done

if it's the C shell do this
foreach file (*.g)
/usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/g_fdf $file
sleep 2
end

That's all for now.

David
