Before running SoftBench 8.01, you should be aware of the following problems and
workarounds:
• SoftBench XEmacs and .emacs Files
Not all .emacs files are compatible with XEmacs. Because of this, SoftBench XEmacs does
not automatically load .emacs files. If a .emacs file is detected, SoftBench XEmacs
displays a button labeled “Load .emacs”. This button may be hard to see, depending on
how colors are defined in your XEmacs environment.
You can modify this behavior by setting the environment variable
“SB_LOAD_DOT_EMACS”. If it is set to “TRUE”, the .emacs file will be automatically
loaded, and if it is set to “FALSE”, the file is not loaded. Also, if you want to load an
alternate file, you can set the variable to the name of the file you want to load. A help
window is displayed until this variable is set.
• euro Compliance
SoftBench supports the euro symbol. Before using the euro symbol on HP-UX 11.23, you
need to install the euro operating system patches. There are no patches required to use
the euro symbol with SoftBench on HP-UX 11i.
The following problems were discovered during SoftBench euro testing:
— SoftBench Xemacs Editor handles the euro symbol correctly for all manipulations, but
does not display the euro symbol correctly.
— SoftBench Static Analyzer fails to find the euro symbol when it is the only item in a
search string. Static Analyzer will find the euro symbol when it is included with other
items in a search string.
— SoftBench project names cannot contain the euro symbol because it is interpreted as a
non-alphanumeric character.
— The target graph replaces the euro symbol in a target name with a different special
symbol.
— Text boxes in SoftBench CM do not display the euro symbol.
