SCOadmin system administration architecture

The SCOadmin services library

This is a Tcl library that enhances SCO Visual Tcl within the context of the SCOadmin environment. These enhancements are documented in ``Writing a SCOadmin manager'' and include:

standardized widgets such as a status bar, tool bar, and two-list display.
helper functions that carry out standard functions for SCOadmin managers such as displaying errors and providing help.
access to SCOadmin networked objects that are a standard part of SCO OpenServer systems, including user accounts, groups, and printers.

The traditional function of a library is to save developers from creating multiple divergent versions of routines to perform the same task. Use of the SCOadmin services library can help the developer save time and ensure their SCOadmin manager looks and behaves like the standard managers. The SCOadmin services library is automatically loaded if you are running /bin/osavtcl, the SCOadmin version of SCO Visual Tcl.
