2041.0. "Documentation on decw*.dat files" by BLYTH::CORNWALL (The eclipse of the Sun is nigh...........) Mon Jan 15 1990 11:54

	
	Greetings,

		Just a quicky. Is there any documentation on the above.
	i.e. what the valid settings are for particular variables and
	the valid syntax associated with each data file.

	Thanks in advance

2041.1QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centMon Jan 15 1990 12:414
Not on VMS.  The party line is that the .DAT file interface is not supported
for user modification.

	What is the purpose of supplying these files. Are they simply resource
	files that are read by each application ? .

	Do you envisage that they will be supported for user modification in
	the future ? There must be some internal documentation somewhere ?
