RE: 41CL use of EXCFG, RCLCFG and STOCFG
OK, so there are now 15 alternate configurations available: 1-9 and A-F. Seems
to be working in V41, but I haven't loaded it on a real CL yet. Soon, though. Keeping track of this many configurations might be a challenge, so I was wondering if there were a way to "name" them. What I came up with would only be a substitute for RCLCFG, and the names would be hard-coded in the IMDB. You would use the regular PLUG function to access the alias. So, for example, PLUG 9MTH x would be aliased to RCLCFG 1. The page identifier in the PLUG function would be ignored and the 9MTH entry in the IMDB would have the number "1" in it that would be passed to the RCLCFG transparently. I thought that the following might be useful: 9MTH for math 9ENG for engineering 9MNY for financial 9FUN for games 9AST for astronomy 9AVI for aviation 9CHM for chemistry 9MED for medicine 9MIL for military/government 9NAV for navigation 9PHS for physics 9HAK for hacker 9SUR for surveying These would be the standard aliases, but you can always add more or modify them if you wanted, although that makes your IMDB custom. The 9xxx entries in the IMDB are currently unused except to hold the version information, so this would be compatible. These IMDB entries would be marked as "not pluggable" for backwards compatibility. Any votes yes or no? Any comments? I reserve the right to say "sorry, can't be done" if I can't find space or can't figure out how to do it. |
