1823.0. "OA$SITE_LIB_LLV:SIL.DAT" by ADOVS9::SYMON (inFamy Soon) Fri Nov 20 1992 15:22

    What is OA$SITE_LIB_LLV:SIL.DAT used for?  Should it be in OA$LIB_LLV?

    Did someone put it there?  Why would there be a .DAT file in either
    place?

    Has got something to do with WPS-PLUS hyphenation exceptions.

    SIL is related to the dreaded DECTEXT DSAB
    
    Just take a look at A1LINK.COM.

    Only if your filing system is like mine!
    
    (That's a name I haven't seen for a very long time.)
    
    A1LINK.COM uses SIL.OLB, but what about SIL.DAT?  Judging by the date,
    it's definitely been replaced for V3.0.  A1V30START.COM defines the
    logical DTX$SIL to be OA$LIB, so I just thought maybe it got created in
    SITE by accident (first dir in list and all that).

    I shoudn't worry about SIL.DAT.  I certainly never have!
    
    It's an old DECtext file.  I don't know of anyone who is still using
    the DECtext editor or dataset, but then again, there's always someone.
    
    When GAP is back on Monday he should be able to give you the definitive
    answer.

1823.6Expert? Me????IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeMon Nov 23 1992 10:5515
    I'm flattered by Tony's (misplaced :-) ) confidence in my ability to be
    definitive about this.
    
    It doesn't seem to be in the V3.0 base or English kit, nor is it
    mentioned in the installation code anywhere that I can find. Hence, I'm
    intrigued by .4's observation that it was replaced in V3.0....
    
    I'd agree with all the earlier repliers, in that it's something to do
    with the DECtext DSAB which is (was??) used for the WPS-PLUS
    hyphenation routines.
    
    What language kit is this? Perhaps some other layered product brought
    it in?

>    Has got something to do with WPS-PLUS hyphenation exceptions.

    To be more precise, let me quote mr Goguen.
    
    "The file SIL.DAT will be created if necessary   
     and/or accessed during operations on the hyphenation exception            
     dictionary. It contains the exception words that the user has
     added. "
    
    Stated juli '91 in the old WPS-PLUS conference.

1823.8Mystery solvedADOVS9::SYMONinFamy SoonWed Nov 25 1992 13:5110
    re .6
    
    It is the British kit.
    
    re .7
    
    I read the notes in the WPS-PLUS-V3 conference.  Thanks for clearing up
    the mystery!
