Lint tools??? Like a dryer filter brush or a navel cleaner? :-) What are
lint tools?

I believe that the EWD tools David is mentioning are some tools he created to check if your EWD version is up to date, and if not, to automatically download and install the latest version of EWD.... including configuration and automatic recompiling of your EWD applications. 

It's a very handy tool. I've tried it and it works great.

thanks David for including it...

 LOL! No, not at all. Lint tools are tools that will report sloppy coding or bugs in the source code, usually in static languages. Hence, getting rid of "lint" from your nice clothes.
In this case, there is a directory in the home directory of dEWDrop, named ewd-tools, which contains some lint programs, with README files on how to build and use them.
They can be run against an EWD design page, before it gets compiled by the EWD compiler, and will be able to tell you where you have mismatched XML tags, which will
not compile in EWD, but which also won't flag an error. In very large documents, they can be very hard to find, and very easy to make these kinds of mistakes. Also, online
HTML syntax checkers don't work on XML, and EWD design pages are basically XML. ewdLint and ewdTidy will work with HTML, XML, EWD custom tags, etc.

 They were a quick hack, written by Larry Landis. I have previously released them on my bitbucket account: https://bitbucket.org/fwslc/ewd-tools But now they are in dEWDrop
also. :-) Enjoy!

Hmmm. After reading the entry, too bad I can't have bragging rights for
programming in Lint, because I think I do that pretty well when I do try to
program.

On the other hand, my programming inspires others to take over and do it
right, which is a real plus. :-)

You are not kidding! That was me for a few years.

George,

 Thank you. But no, ewdLint and ewdTidy are different programs altogether, written by Larry. What you are talking about, I haven't mentioned yet. I wrote a script that will upgrade EWD
to the latest version, including installing it for the vista user, recompiling all the EWD applications to use the new version, and even moving any new EWD applications that Rob writes
directly to the vista user environment and compiling them too. To use it, as any user, including vista, just type: $ sudo ewd_upgrade.sh

 It will tell you what it is doing. One caveat, it won't overwrite EWD applications that Rob bundles with EWD, like openMDWS, if it already exists in the vista user's environment. That is
so that if you change those applications for any reason, you won't use your work. But if you remove those applications in vista first, and then run it, it will install and compile the versions
of those apps bundled with EWD. Thanks again George.

Navel, not naval. Think Q-Tip. But maybe admirals need more help than I
thought!

[KSB] Why does this run as root?  There should be no need for any application running on GT.M to run as root.  Thanks.

Bhaskar,

 This script does not run GT.M, it installs things. Just like you have to be root to install GT.M. It does compile EWD applications and some other things, but it does so as the vista user.

E.g. sudo su - vista -c ...

Thanks, David.  That sounds better - although I'm still curious as to what there is in EWD that requires root.  If you prefer to answer off-list, or in person in Sacramento, that's fine.

Hello David,

Will the fortcoming documentation include information about installing the software
pieces of dEWDrop in a new environment as well? 

There is plenty of documentation for someone to install every part of what is contained
in dEWDrop, but this makes not easier the Task to build an environment where the
various pieces (GT.M, VistA, EWD) work together.

A virtual mashine is nice, but sometimes you want to be able to install the software
in a fresh OS environment, or you want to install other software in the VM, and this
is not so easy : I downloaded i.e recently dEWDrop,  but had to put it aside as I
failed to install some remote access software I wanted.

So, I would appreciate very much to find in your Documentation also information
about the 'Glue' you used to bind GT.M, VistA and EWD together, so that I can
adapt it better in my needs.

Thank you
