- COMPILATION
- -----------
-
- The Screen Generator and Forms Generator were delivered as one tool
- called Formgen.
-
- A VMS command file was created from the ordered list of compilation
- units provided in FORMGEN_CMP.DIS.
-
- FORMGEN is dependent on the packages in VIRTERM, another tool developed
- by TI. We were able to compile FORMGEN after making the packages in
- VIRTERM visible and afer deleting references to the Data General
- supplied package CURRENT_EXCEPTION. References to the pragma MAIN
- were also eliminated.
-
-
-
- EXECUTION
- ---------
- The interactive form generator INTERACT was linked. Upon execution
- however, the program looped infinitely. This looping is most probably
- due to the fact that host dependencies in the SYSDEP_BODY.ADA file in
- VIRTERM were not rewritten.
-

-
- COMMENT
- -------
- The relationship between FORMGEN and VIRTERM should be clarified. It
- should be stated which subset of VIRTERM (if it is a subset) is needed.
- Consideration should be given to including VIRTERM source as part of
- FORMGEN.
