Subj: 	bcreating a file with specific header...

Hi! I'm running into trouble bcreating some test suite files. Some of these files 
end in .tc. There is no header for these files so the bcreate process does not 
include one. Instead, I added the header myself. When I bci the files, however, 
the log does not get updated. Is this because the comment leader isn't set 
appropriately? Do I have to go back and do a 'bcs -c"# " <filename>' on all of 
these files? Is there an easier way? How do you specify a specific header to use, 
so I won't run into this problem again?

Thanks!

Yes, if ode does not know the file type, it sets the comment leader to BIN, 
which you need to change as you described above. Alternatively you can bcreate 
the file with the correct comment leader:

bcreate(1)                                                         bcreate(1)

NAME
  bcreate - creates a new source file
user_options

  -c   Passes the desired comment leader of the file being created.

Now, more to the point, if you have a new file type that we currently don't 
have defined in ode, please send us the appropriate header info, and we can 
add it to the collection of headers for other file types and you won't have to 
do either of those things.
