- I use VAXset v10, and now have the CDrom with DECset v11. Looking through the
- release notes it seems that massive changes have been made to LSE and SCA. The
- SCA changes look quite interesting, but the LSE changes have me a bit worried.
- I'm in the middle of a project and can't take the time to learn the new stuff
- and teach it to the other guy here. The SCA stuff, however, looks quite
- appealing and I'd like to be able to access it.
-
- The release notes mention a bunch of compatibility settings, but really only
- hint at them. The only manuals on the CDrom are guides, and don't talk about
- back-compatibility at all. The reference manuals aren't on the CD! They are in
- the product kits and you have to install the stuff to easily get access to them!
- (That's a first, as far as I know, and one I don't like, the reference manuals
- should be on the CD.)
-
- So, anyone know the story? Can I install this stuff without rewriting my section
- files and language environments and relearning and retraining almost as though
- they were new products? Or should I resign myself to not having this stuff till
- I can devote a week to getting it all up to speed? If the compatibility stuff is
- all there, could anyone summarize how to turn it all on? Any other gotchas on
- DECset v11? Comments on the debugger (I know I'm drifting off topic for this
- group, but I thought I'd ask, since I'm here :-) ).
