511.0. "No backdrop geographic map" by JGO::BEKKUM (Avoid falling anvils) Tue Dec 04 1990 13:59

    Hello,
    
    
    	I'am trying to backdrop the WESTERN_EUROPE map in a new created
    domain, following the rules described in the EFT Release notes.
    
    1. Create a new domain.
    < CREATE DOMAIN EASYNET OWNER ID=SYSTEM,DIRECTORY=SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]>
    
    2. Copy from MCC_MAPS:MCC_WORLD.DAT to SYS$SYSROOT:[SYMGR] with a
    rename to MCC_EASYNET.DAT
    
    3. Open DOMAIN EASYNET
    	
    Now you should see a backdrop of the geographic map. I don't
    
    I see a .dat file in sys$sysroot:[sysmgr] named
    MCC_CBFD000400AA000001C993715B1EC320.MCC_MAP_EASYNET;1
    
    Any ideas.

Rob,
Copy the file to:
                   MCC$_EASYNET.dat 
            or to 
                   mcc_maps:mcc_00000000000000000000000000000000.mcc_map

                                |<------32 zeros!-------------->|


When we open a domain we look for a file called:
mcc_maps:mcc_<32hexchardomainuid>.mcc_map_<last_simple_name_of_domain.>
  
If we do not find the above file we look for:
mcc_maps:mcc_00000000000000000000000000000000.mcc_map

                       ^
If we do not find that | we look for mcc$_last_simple_name_of_domain.dat

The reason we look for the mcc$_abc.dat name is so that we can read your old
files.  The reason we look for the 32zero file is so that people have a 
mechanism to bring in backdrops without *TOO* much trouble.

Like I said we read from the above files but we only write (when you 
save your map) to one, mcc_<32hexchardomainuid>.mcc_map_<last...>.

We apologize for the screw up with the release notes.
