Yes, I know all that. Problem is, the copy of the library I am sending out is
the same version my in-house users are using. *I* need the source code there
so I can use the symbolic debugger when a problem is found, and know I am using
it on the same version of the program(s). So, I temporarily copy the .ADC
files to another directory, make the tape, and copy them back. Soon, I will
be able to separate the development and released versions onto different disks,
which will enable me to build a separate library for release and to reload old
releases without affecting the development version.
Even so, typing in 2 "rename" commands is not all that much work. And if this
were the most worrisome problem in sending contract deliverables, I would cry
tears of joy. SInce this is a fairly limited topic, I suggest any further
comments on this be mailed direct.
