409.0. "LSE file types" by TOKLAS::FELDMAN (PDS, our next success) Thu May 21 1987 16:51

    Congratulations on the Baselevel 8 LSE support.  It's obvious that
    you've put a fair bit of work, much of it quite tedious, into improving
    the templates and exploiting LSE V2 features.
    
    One minor point: the new definitions only recognize .SDML and not
    .GNC.  I've read the release note remark on this, but it still isn't
    clear to me whether that was a deliberate decision, or a
    misunderstanding of LSE.  LSE permits more than one file type to
    be associated with a language (e.g. .B32 and .R32 for Bliss, .C
    and .H for C, etc.).  It certainly makes sense that the SDC kit
    should only support SDML, but I've already had one local user get
    bit by this change.
    
    Needless to say, I've applied the obvious fix:  
    	$ RENAME *.GNC.* *.SDML.*
    User's who want to continue using both .GNC and .SDML can use an
    LSE MODIFY LANGUAGE command.
    
    Keep up the good work (and start planning a well-deserved release
    party)!

    I guess it's back to the LSEDIT documentation for me...I was
    under the impression that only one filename could be used
    per language.
    
    In the meantime, thanks for showing others how to fix it for
    two languages.
