Main Files

bin: The binary program file and shell scripts use to manage the dstool toolkit are kept together in this directory. This file should be placed in each users path statement with the appropriate modifications to their .cshrc or .login files.

colormaps: During execution, dstool uses files to generate color data for graphics. These color definition files may reside anywhere, as long as the environment variable DSTOOL_COLOR_DIR is set properly. The directory DSTOOL/colormaps contain examples of these color data files.

install: This directory contains the source code for the test program used by the install script install_dstool to verify the correct working environment has been established for dstool installation.

libraries: To speed the process of building private dstool executable modules in the multi-user environment, all the object code which comprises dstool is organized into libraries stored in this subdirectory.

Makefile: This file directs the execution of the UNIX make facility whenever dstool is installed or later modified. Notice that the subdirectory DSTOOL/src and each subdirectory below it also contains a Makefile. The presence of each file is mandatory and these files are not interchangeable.

site_specific: The compilation and execution of dstool depends, in several ways, on site-specific features of the workstation on which it is run and maintained. These characteristics are collected together in this directory.

src: The source code for dstool is located in this filesystem.
