Re: herald forms on Unix
I'm trying to figure out how to write HERALD forms for compiling files
on Unix. What does the "logical name" field in a support spec refer to
on Unix?
Logical names on Unix are found in either of two ways:
(a) Unix environment variables with upper-case names, or
(b) entries in a logical name table internal to T.
The second takes priority.
E.g. you can do "setenv FOO /usr/foo/bar" at the shell before starting
up a T, or you can say (SET (LOGICAL-NAME 'UNIX 'FOO) "/usr/foo/bar")
after starting up a T. This will be documented and released at some
point.
