16.0. "Enroll ?" by DSTEG2::HOSSFELD (I'm so confused!) Wed Sep 27 1989 16:00

	When the command ENROLL is used the 2 parameters it uses are file_name
	and module_name.  Where does module name come from, what tag or refer-
	ence name is it?

16.1INFO - only use first arg GOSTE::CALLANDERFri Sep 29 1989 09:5616
    
    Only the first argument of the enroll command is required. If you
    have followed the naming conventions in the SRM then the second
    argument should not be needed.
    
    Example: if you named your executable MCC$TRM_PM and used this same
    prefix in naming your software modules (init, probe and log) then
    you do not need to supply the second enroll argument. In the long
    run this second argument will not even be documented in the MCC
    manuals. This is a carry over from before the SRM naming conventions
    were established.

16.2DSTEG2::HOSSFELDI'm so confused!Fri Sep 29 1989 11:0314
Is the second arg susposed to be the prefix of the init, log, and probe 
Routines?  So if I name these routines 
		acb$test_init()
		abc$test_probe()
		acb$test_log()
and the file name is mcc$test_alpha.exe.
And the file pointer logical is 
Define mcc$file dua0:sys$test:mcc$test_alpha.exe
Do I use abc$test as the second arg or mcc$file or mcc$test? 

One other thing I cam across used a logical mcc$actp__file to point to the file
and the two underscores (__) gave me a syntex error from enroll when I went 
back to one it was ok!
16.3INFO - change to new conventions!GOSTE::CALLANDERTue Oct 03 1989 15:2728
    
    You should be using: mcc$test_alpha_init
                         mcc$test_alpha_probe
                         mcc$test_alpha_log
    
    As documented in the help file and documentation for the T1.0.0
    release of DECmcc the second argument for the enroll directive no
    longer exists. The hold over was left in purely for downward
    compatibility but this support will NOT be present in the next external
    release of the system. Instead of trying to explain it I strongly
    recommend that you change it.
    
    Please refer to chaper 7, Enrollment and Extensibility, section
    7.7 in the SRM T1.0.0 release. This describes how you must now name
    your files and entry points. 
    
    In the SRM you will see that the dispatch table file is to be named:
    
    	"MCC$<component-name>_VECTOR.MAR"
    
    and the entry points:
    
    	"MCC$<component-name>_INIT"
    	"MCC$<component-name>_PROBE"
    	"MCC$<component-name>_LOG"
