AVtools Release 03

by Dominique Béréziat

What is it ?

AVtools is a small package to handle GEM-protocol and specially AV-protocol in a command interpretor. If you use Mupfel and an AVserver (MagiC-Desk, Thing or Jinnee), this package is for you ! Currently only Mupfel is supported but if you know an another command interpretor running MagiC (tcsh would be a great thing) i can adpate AVtools.

Description of the package

The package contains only two commands : applwrit and applfind which are the implementations as TTP program of the AES functions appl_write() and appl_find(). The first one allows you to send a message to a GEM application and the second one allows you to know the AES identificator of a GEM application. Otherwise, the package contains mupfel scripts using theses commands such as :

• open: to open in a Desktop window a directory content,
• avserver: view a file using the AVserver capabitilies,
• stghelp: find and display ST-Guides nodes.
• apterm: terminate a GEM application.

What's new ?

• applfind and applwrite commands have been improving,
• avserver and open script have been improving,
• New edit script.
