I am also interested in dmcmd commands and hope Alex will post at least a
summary on this forum for those of us who won't be attending the meeting.

Sorry I won't be able to be there to harass you Alex so let me get one in
here:
I am always interested in new and deceptive ways to get the display manager
to do things. I would probably concentrate on the dmcmd commands,
especially the differences in syntax between what is used in the AApan file
and what can be done in a script (via pref) and how to use substitution
lists with these two methods.
Hope ya'll have fun without me.

Subject: A request for questions
I've been asked to speak at the 'Gulf Coast User's Group' meeting on Jan
24th. The topic requested is I/A Series Calls.
Since this is a topic that is a little hard to cover in a couple of hours, I
was wondering if you folks had questions in this area.
My thought was that you folks could summit questions to me and I will (try
to) answer them and present the results at the GCUG meeting and on this
forum.
The calls that most people seem interested in include:
IPC - Inter-process communication. These calls can be used to communicate
between programs and to send/receive standard I/A Series messages, e.g.,
alarms.
OM - Object Manager calls. These are the calls that provide access to I/A
Series process data at the lowest level.
FoxAPI - A suite of APIs that provide access to process data (legacy AIS
calls and new CDX calls), CSA data, and historical data (legacy API and new
API).
Display Manager commands - These are the commands used in Display Manager
scripts.
Any comments? or questions?
Regards,
Alex Johnson
