Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi!

Due to some (more than minor) bugs in VisualDCT, I have quicly released a
new build with bugfixes.
Fixes: 5034 VDCT incorrectly converts DISV="1" and UDF="1"
 	 5031 VDCT strips \ character from field definitions
 	 5033 DTYP field need not be defined before DBF_INPUT/DBF_OUTPUT fields
(minor)

And the one from Bob Dalesio: VisualDCT takes INP with .0025 and thinks it
is a link. That is any constant that starts with a "."

Right now are are making plans for package D. Does anybody have any more
ideas what to put in? I guess most wanted is command line tool for
flattening hierarchical databases.

Regards,
	Matej

In VDCT the ‘\’ character, used to signal special, nonprintable, characters is stripped from all field definitions when a file is read in and are then permanently lost when saved. i.e.



field(OUT,"@$(PORT) {\x040011\x022WL>%s}{\x06}")



becomes



field(OUT,"@$(PORT) {x040011x022WL>%s}{x06}")



This is a common usage for drvAscii serial communication.



Does anyone have a solution?



I tried to submit a bug report for VDCT, but the link from the EPICS site didn’t work and the link from their site is password protected.
