408.0. "Management Module Specification Templates" by SIEVAX::MIDONA (Alan Midona, SIE Reading, DTN 830 3996) Mon Oct 15 1990 12:20

	I've just spent some time reading through the specifications of
	a number the management modules.  The specifications all look 
	remarkably simillar so I assume that somewhere there is a template
	specification somewhere.  If so can I have a copy please as it
	will save me a great deal of wordsmithing time.

	Thanks,

	Alan.

408.1which specification?TOOK::DENSMOREDirty deeds done dirt cheapMon Oct 15 1990 13:4310
    Are you referring to the MS files?  If so, I can send you a copy of one
    of the Phase V MS files.  You can use it as a template.
    
    If you are referring to the Module Reference Manuals (MRMs), you need
    to contact Bob Merrifield (TOOK:MERRIFIELD).
    
    If you are referring to architecture specs, maybe Mark Sylor or one of
    the architects can supply a suggestion.

408.2tried the LSE .env?FORTY2::MELLINGChris Melling @REO. 830-4528Tue Oct 16 1990 07:205
   If you are referring to the MS (or MSL) files, then there is an LSE language
   template in the toolkit kit (!).  This makes the writing of the MS files a
   lot less arduous.

    Alan (.0) and I "conversed" off line via mail.  The specifications that
    he refers to in .0 are "Module Reference Manuals".  These are "prose"
    descriptions of the services offered/required by a management module.
    The MSL (or MS) specifications are compilable descriptions of these
    same services.  The former are put together under LaTeX using special
    style macros.  There are no templates as such but one can get the
    source for something like the Sample AM and work from there.  The
    latter, as mentioned in .-2, have LSE templates.  You MUST have an MS
    specification.  The Reference Manual is..., well let me just say that I
    don't consider them to be the best part of my job and leave it at that.
