Hi,
table.c for the annotation primitive has only a few functions left to be
completed. Meanwhile, I was aiming to define the frontend pipeline i.e.
- the user input through "in" command
- porting the primitive details into the database
I went through the tclscripts library, but found difficulty in some parts.
It will be very grateful if I get some help regarding this part.( the files
to be modified, their dependencies and which directories should I
particularly look into)
Regards,
Shubham Rathore(:gabbar1947)
