Florence,
There were a number of internal changes made to the Toolkit Design
Framework library - however these changes are backward compatible
with earlier versions of the library and should present no problems
for existing Management Modules ... Please let us know if this is
not the case.
The primary change was to provide a c++ like interface to hide
the DECmcc Call Protocol stuff; Init-handle-first, etc... routines have
been hidden. The Design Framework required a lot of extra baggage to
be included in each Management Module directive - using the new routine
interface the YOURMM module has been reduced size by 60%.
Also - the User-friendly MIR interface routines presented in the Example
FM code were incorporated into the Design Framework - with a few bug
fixes and enhancements.
Q: Why are you asking in the Notes file and not
reading the Documentation ?
A: Because it isn't documented 8(
These changes were left over from v1.2 development and were added to the
v1.3 release as they are backward compatible. There was (vitually) no
funding for the V1.3 Toolkit so the Documentation phase was not done.
It may be possible to provide you with examples of using the new interface
routines as the Script AM is based on the new code.

Well, I'am glad to see that eng=hancements are there.
However, it might be compatible but it is not automatic.
If I list the two libraries they are ovbiously different.
Should the current code be modified? and modified to what ?
To avoid problems, what happend is the we renamed the V1.3.1 library
in order to re-use the V1.2.3 one.
Any guidelines welcome
Thanks in davance from TeMIP customers.

In the v1.3 'mcc_desframe.h' file, there are macros which convert the
v1.2 naming to the v1.3 format. Recompiling should take care of the
naming changes. Ofcourse, you can edit your source code to use the
new names, but because we were unable to document the changes, the
macros will take care of it automatically.
Were there problems compiling the code ?
