Release of TCA Version 7.6 A new version of TCA has been released to /afs/cs/project/TCA/release/alpha. This version has three significant additions: 1) Two new functions are added: tcaIgnoreLogging(char *msgName) and tcaResumeLogging(char *msgName). tcaIgnoreLogging() will not log message "msgName" if the logging option in central includes the "i" switch (eg, -lmdsi). This can be useful to keep the log file of manageable size if the message is sent with high frequency. tcaResumeLogging() has the obvious effect of allowing the message to be logged, regardless of the status of the "i" switch (note that if the "i" switch is not in use, all messages will be logged, regardless of their "ignore" status). 2) Conditional compilation switches have been added for a MacIntosh (specifically, MPW-C) version of TCA. This runs using the GUSI socket library, and is currently being tested. The rest of the code needed to run a MacIntosh version of TCA will be released shortly. If you have a pressing need for such a Mac version of TCA, let me know and I will speed up the process. 3) There is a very rudimentary command interface on the central server. you can enter command line options while the server is running. One option per line. In addition to the usual options, it takes "quit" and "help". The interface is most useful for turning logging on and off during a tca run. Reid Simmons reids@cs.cmu.edu
