vergil.exe is produced by the Installshield installer. It has many bugs, and I'm looking at using other products for the next release.
I have a list of the bugs at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII1.0/installshield.htm#bugs There are also some troubleshooting tips to try if you are interested in poking around at the vergil.exe internals by using some somewhat undocumented command line arguments. You could poke around on the installshield site and see if there are any suggestions there for setting the classpath at runtime, but I don't think you will find a solution there. The Ptolemy II Windows Installer is really meant for users who will not be writing their own actors, and want to use Ptolemy II as a shrink wrapped product. For serious Ptolemy II work, I suggest using Cygwin and $PTII/bin/vergil to start up vergil. $PTII/bin/vergil.bat is a bit of a hack, $PTII/bin/vergil is more robust. You can also start up vergil by hand, see http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII1.0/ptII1.0/doc/troubleshooting.htm#vergil Another solution is to use the following hack: vergil.exe does look for $PTII/lib/user.jar, so you could put your other classes in a jar file at that location, see http://www.mail-archive.com/ptolemy-hackers@eecs.berkeley.edu/msg00798.html I don't understand why setting the classpath parameter in vergil.bat would present a speed limit? Seems like once you set it properly, you should not need to set it again? The classpath can refer to jar files or to a directory. If you are using classes that are not under active development, you could put them in a jar file and add the jar file to vergil.bat. If you are using classes that are under active development, then you could add the directory to vergil.bat -Christopher -------- Does anyone know a way to make a new library away from the current library tree (under ptolemy/actor/...)! I'm already using a method where I set the classpath parameter for java (through the supplied vergil.bat). However, this way pose great speed limit on my working activities and I cannot bear it any more. Does anyone have a way to set a class path using vergil.exe???!!!
