Looks like our schedule for trying out dashboard with PFCAM
dispatcher is slipping again;  since I will not be here next
week, I'll leave the following treasure map for y'all.
 
 
PATH TO DASHBOARD EXE(s)
 
        /opt/share/tcl/bin
 
 
EXE NAMES
 
        obsr    (run in observer mode)
        engr    (run in engineer mode)
 
these are symlinks to the "real" exe name "ktui", but don't run
ktui under its own name.  it relies on argv0 being one or the other
of the above 2 choices.
 
 
FLAGS
 
        d       developer mode (you want this)
        f       fake mode       you want this unless you have a dispatcher,
                                traffic, etc. to talk to
        s       safety mode     this means you can't KTL write, only KTL read
 
 
EXAMPLE

	engr df	

	obsr f

	obsr s

	engr

	obsr


LIBRARIES
 
        KTL_LIBRARY_PATH /a/local/kroot/lib
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH  /a/local/kroot/lib
 
There's a pfcam library with the current set of keywords installed in
/a/local/kroot/lib.
 
 
HELP FILES
 
The online help in Wisql, Forms, Dashboard, etc. is really text files
in a designated location.  The location is
 
        /opt/share/tcl/lib/ucodb/help
 
and stupidly, when I named the Dashboard help files I did not distinguish
them with a nice prefix like DB or KTUI.  They are
 
        OverView
        BasicUser
        Designer
        KeyBindings
        Internals
 
and you can print them out if you would like a paper "manual".  There is
no manpage, but there should be and when I get back I would like to
make one.
 
 
STARTING POINT
 
Dean has a directory /u/tucker/PFCAM on ronin which contains
        
        PFCAM.kwd       a keyword save file
        PFCAM.dbd       a dashboard layout save file
 
These are the files you select when using Save As and Load From options
for Keywords or Layout.
 
The source from which the pfcam keyword library was built is under CVS
and was built fresh from zero, as de, just a couple of days ago.
The source for dashboard is under cvs:  cvs/Ktng/ktui.
 
 
CAVEATS
 
The pfcam lib is on /a/local/kroot on ronin, so don't expect that path
to work from other machines.  (NB we should establish an /opt/kroot for
each arch).
 
The only change to Dashboard since the CDR is the ability to read 
a service keyword bundle consisting of sub-bundles.  This was necessary
to read the PFCAM bundle, the first service bundle that is "properly"
structured.  No other functional changes have been made.
 
There's a known problem (showed up during CDR demo) with plotting 
pseudoKW.  It was introduced sometime in the last 2 months and I
have not yet fixed it.    It's on the list.
