allegro SKILL hint : allegro.ilinit

[cadpro2k]

Hi all,

What a day. Hope this helps someone. After messing with a new allegro.ilinit file, I had a crazy idea. Why not just have a text file with a bunch of load commands in it:

load "c:/apps/cadence/psd_14.2/pcbenv/skill/ipc_356.il"
load "c:/apps/cadence/psd_14.2/pcbenv/skill/conv.il"
load "c:/apps/cadence/psd_14.2/pcbenv/skill/hl_ntp.il"
etc,etc,etc.

After messing with the ol'...
setSkillPath(buildString(append1(getSkillPath() "C:/... etc, etc, etc...
at the front of my allegro.ilinit file, AND! getting no where, I did it like above. WORKS! Also doesn't give me the annoying 'load YADA YADA...' when I invoke allegro.

Just thought this might help.

Good day.

What means ol¡_¡_£¿

[newbie777]

what i do is this

in allegro command prompt

command> skill

skill> load "myskillfile.il"

skill> exit

command> myskillfile


this will run your skill file after you made changes to it and wnat to see difference

** there is a catch however... your skill file must be located in your skill directory pointed to in your .ilinit file
