Re: Are EDM screens forwards compatible from version 1-10 to 1-11?

Mark,

Your old screens should be compatible.

As of 1-11-1, the file named edmPvObjects has been changed somewhat and 
must be repopulated. The easiest way to accomplish this is as follows:

mv edmPvObjects edmPvObjects-old
edm -addpv /somedir/libEpics.so
dm -addpv /somedir/libLoc.so
dm -addpv /somedir/libCalc.so

where /somdir is the location of the referenced sharable libraries.

Sorry for the lack of documentation. I failed to clearly state the 
requirement to repopulate edmPvObjects.

If this does not fix your problem, let me know.
