1.0 Overview

This document describes changes included within:

Note: SysConf is used by TPS, PORF, Targetter, XUtil, WinUtil, PLI, PTE and CEM

TPS is used by PORF, Targetter, XUtil, WinUtil, PLI, PTE and CEM.

XUtil and WinUtil are used by PLI and PTE.

PTE means both the Run-Time System (RTS) and the Simulator (SIM).

PTE, RTS, CEM and SIM mean all Platforms.

UPTE, URTS, UCEM and USIM mean UNIX Platforms only.

WPTE, WRTS, WCEM and WSIM mean MS-Windows Platforms only.

XPTE, XRTS and XSIM mean X-Window Platforms only.

This version of the RTS is compatible with CEM Modules built with CEM Files distributed with RTS Version 19980714 3.9.7 and later. You may install this version of the RTS without rebuilding your CEM Module. However, in order to make use of the new CEM capabilities, you MUST install this version of the RTS, and then you MUST recompile and relink your CEM Module(s) with the TYX-supplied CEM Files distributed with this version of the RTS.

As time goes on, RTS/CEM testing to provide error-free backwards-compatibility becomes increasingly difficult. Therefore, TYX Corporation very strongly recommends that CEM Users recompile and relink their CEM Modules after installing a new version of the RTS.

1.1 Enhancements

The WCEM Sample Make File make.cem (normally installed in Directory c:\usr\tyx\lib) provides non-Studio WCEM Users the information needed to build a CEM Module.

Note If the installed File is modified in place, a subsequent installation will result in the loss of all WCEM User changes. Therefore, TYX Corporation strongly recommends that the installed File be copied to another Directory and that all changes be made to this copy. Upon completion of any subsequent installations, the installed File should be compared to the modified copy to detect changes.

Prior to this release, make.cem contained only the Lines:

Note TYXTESTCEMOBJ is used by TYX Corporation during in-house testing and is expected to be not defined in WCEM Users Environment. It may be safely removed by WCEM Users.

With this release, make.cem contains the following new Lines:

Note TYXTESTCEMLIB is used by TYX Corporation during in-house testing and is expected to be not defined in WCEM Users Environment. It may be safely removed by WCEM Users.

The Dummy WCEM Module wcemfake.dll (normally installed in Directory c:\usr\tyx\prg as wcem.dll) provides a basic message-processing interface for WRTS Users that do not use WCEM.

Prior to this release, wcemfake.dll did not contain the cem_error_dequeue() Function (an internal Function called only by the Studio RTS).

With this release, wcemfake.dll contains a dummy cem_error_dequeue() Function.

Prior to this release, the CEM Kernel was not resetting Group Modifier Datum Values when a REMOVE, ALL ATLAS Statement was executed.

With this release, the CEM Kernel resets Group Modifier Datum Values for both REMOVE, ALL and REMOVE, Noun ATLAS Statements.
