Subj: 	ODE tools directory gone on alpha

There is no tools directory in /usr/sde/ode2.0 on alpha.  I'm served from this
machine so I'm currently stuck.

Thanks,

I've sent mail to admin asking that they fix the /usr/sde update,
which has not been running since 7/22.  Once this runs it will fix
the alpha area.  I have no idea how this might have gotten erased,
however.

Subj: 	Tools directory

The Alpha ODE tools directory, formerly in /usr/sde/ode2.0/tools/alpha/bin,
is gone.  There seems to be available alpha_osf1, alpha_OSF1, and alpha_ace
instead, all of which point to the same thing.

What happened?  Was this deliberate or accidental, and why?  Should we go
ahead and use the new directories?  Why wasn't a link left in place for the
old alpha path?

Subj: 	Re: Tools directory

In fact alpha has always been a link. For several years anyway the tools
have lived in alpha_ace with links called alpha_OSF1 and alpha_osf1.
Please change you references accordingly.

An easy way to do this and always be correct is to add these to your
environment:

set toolspath=( /usr/sde/tools/`machine`_`uname`/bin )
set path=( $toolspath $path .....)
