Re: DM documentation is not available on the CD


I'd like to clarify this statement. The K0173TQ-G - FoxDoc for V6.2.1 has
the following in its table of contents:

Display Builder (B0193AQ: Available in hard-copy only.)   
Display Builder for 50 Series Workstations (B0193MP: Available in hard-copy
only.)   
Display Configurator for 20/30 Series Workstations (B0193AR)   
Display Configurator for 50 Series Workstations (B0193NL)   
Display Conventions Configurator (B0193CQ)   
Display Edit Utility (Help File)   
Display Engineering for 50 Series Workstations (B0193MQ)   
Display Engineering (Windows NT Operating System) (B0400MQ)   
Display Engineering Utilities (B0193WU)   
Display Manager Commands (B0193DF)   
Display Reporter and Connection Editor (B0193JN) 


While it is true that the configuration document is not available on the CD,
the majority of these documents are specific to the DM.

        Just curious:  Is FoxView that bad, or is it just a pain to migrate?
I'm
        relatively new to I/A. and find the legacy Display Builder a
cumbersome tool to
        build graphics in (although some of the guys in the plant who have
done it more
        don't complain much).  I'm trying to evaluate whether to make a push
to go to
        FoxView or not (it would be a gradual change even if we did, as I've
heard it is
        best to rebuild existing screens in FoxDraw rather than try to
import them).

        I'm not sure what Foxboro's stance is of supporting products beyond
their
        "useful life" (i.e., after a newer replacement has come out), but
the fact that
        DM documentation is not available on the CD looks like writing on
the wall to
        me.

        It will be a dead heat as to whether you or we are the last to
migrate to
        FoxView....
