Anyone have Moved from VMS to WINDOWS?

[brian_matthewsbrian matthews]

better still change subfile references from 'set sub name sub_name...' to
'set sub name $subfile\sub_name...' and then run the command
'set sub_name=compilefoldername' before each compile.

However, you would still need the command '$copy %phtemp%ken1.sfd 
%sub_name%' embedded in the first source file to write to the subfile, but 
once set, the later processes will see it in the compile location.

If the sub_name env var is also set at the system level, this will be used 
automatically when executing for normal live execution. This has the 
advantage that compiles and live execution can take place simultaneously on 
the same box (when appropriate).
