  This is the initial Field Test kit. Changes since V3.1 have not yet been
  translated into Japanese.

  NEW IN THIS RELEASE
  Extracted from : Release Notes for FUSE V4.0

1.1 Summary of Features New for FUSE Version 4.0

  The primary focus of work for Version 4.0 was to enhance FUSE to support work
from the perspective of one or more projects.  All tools now operate in the
context of user-defined projects.  You can save project data from session to
session.  You can open multiple projects each with its own set of tools and 
working context.  In general, projects give you a way to separate one work
context from another by specifying project data, for example, the locations of
all the source files, build options, and static analysis data.

  There were also changes made to several existing tools.

1.1.1 Existing Tools

New functions of interest in existing tools include the following:

        Builder
       Can generate static analysis data during a build for use by the browser
        tools (Call Graph Browser, Cross-Referencer, and C++ Class Browser).

        C++ Class Browser
        Significant enhancements to the overall user interface to improve
        ease of use.

        Editors
        Diagnostic message viewing within the FUSE Editor and emacs.
        Addition of a FUSE menu to the menu bar of emacs versions 19.*.
        Support for XEmacs as well as GNU emacs.
        Support for MULE, a multilanguage editor for use in the Japanese
        locale.

        Heap Analyzer
        Support for multiprocess and multithread profiling.

        Porting Assistant
        Support for mapping compiler directives to the equivalent Digital
        UNIX directives.
        Support for mapping compile command lines in a makefile to the
        equivalent Digital UNIX command line.
        Addition of a keyword lookup function for the DXML library, which
        includes commonly used Fortran math functions.
        Support for mapping LINPACK and EISPACK routines nto LAPACK routines.

        Man Page Browser
        Display an index of entries for reference pages that contain a
        specified regular expression.
        Display an index of entries for reference pages whose item name
        contains a specified regular expression.

        Profiler
        Support for multiprocess and multithread profiling.

  COPYING THE DOCUMENTATION
        The handbook is unchanged except for a half dozen new messages. The
	new version's available but disk space is tight, so we'll point you to
	        fuse_v30_encase.[ps | ps.Z | decw_book]
	in the fuse_v31 directory.

	For all other documents
	fuse_v40_handbook.ps.Z
	fuse_v40_handbook.tar.Z		(html format)
	fuse_v40_install_guide.[ps | txt]
        fuse_v40_install_guide.tar.Z    (html format)
	fuse_v40_relnotes.[ps | txt]
        fuse_v40_relnotes.tar.Z		(html format)
        fuse_v40_spd.[ps | txt]

	After expanding the html tar files, start by viewing TITLE.HTM for a
	particular book.  Title page provides buttons for Table of Contents,
	Index, etc.

	  a. Use the ftp command to login to the caboom system:
	     # ftp caboom.zko.dec.com
	     Name: anonymous
	     Password: < your-login-name >
	  b. Change to the directory containing the files
	     ftp> cd fuse_V40
	  b. At the ftp> prompt, enter for each file:
	     ftp> get < file >


  COPYING AND INSTALLING THE KIT
   For more information about using the setld utility, registering a license,
   required subsets, or to view a sample installation, see the DEC FUSE
   Installation Guide.

  FUSE kit:
      Copy the kit to your workstation.
	     a. Use the ftp command to log in to the caboom system:
		     # ftp caboom.zko.dec.com
		     Name: anonymous
		     Password: < your-login-name >

	     b. Move to the directory containing DEC FUSE V4.0 files
		     ftp> cd fuse_V40

	     c. At the ftp> prompt, enter:
		     ftp> binary
		     ftp> get FUS400.tar

	     d. After the tar file is transferred, quit the session:
 		     ftp> quit


      Unpack the tar file:  # tar -xmpf FUS400.tar
         After unpacking the tar file, you can remove it from the directory
         where you copied it.

      Enable the software licenses
         FUSE software includes the following products: DEC FUSE V4.0, and
	 DEC FUSE C++ Support V4.0. A DEC FUSE Ada Support license is no longer
	 required to use FUSE Ada support.  If you have already installed
	 licenses for DEC FUSE products on your system, you can skip this step.

	 Use VTX PAK to acquire and install the following PAKS:
			FUSE-USER
			FUSE-C-USER

	 Refer to the "Guide to Software License Management" manual in the
	 Digital Unix documentation set for further information.

      Enter the following command to start the installation script.
		     # setld -l .


5.  After installing FUSE:
     1. Run the IVP
		     # setld -v FUSBASE400

        The script displays the FUSE Control Panel. To exit, click on the Tools
	menu and choose the Exit FUSE menu item.  The script exits FUSE and
	displays a message stating that the installation has been verified.

     2.	If you have the optional C++ Support License, the DEC C++ compiler kit
        must also be installed.  The DEC C++ product is supplied separately
	from FUSE.


  NOTESFILE LOCATION
   A notesfile for technical discussions and questions regarding FUSE is
	located on CLT::FUSE.  To add the notesfile to your notebook use the
	Notes> add/entry fuse/file=CLT::FUSE command.  In addition, there is a
	news-to-notes gateway for accessing the FUSE notesfiles.  The news
	conference is called: dec.notes.applications.fuse

  FILING PROBLEM REPORTS
	Use the FUSE Notes conference.

  WHAT IS DEC FUSE?
	FUSE is an integrated, graphically oriented workstation-based
	programming environment for UNIX systems.  The environment supports C,
	C++, FORTRAN, PASCAL, COBOL, and Ada programming languages.  It is
	based on commands and utilities in UNIX such as Ladebug, make,
	pixie, pixstats, prof and gprof, RCS and SCCS.  It is designed to be
	used by novice or advanced programmers, who may or may not be UNIX
	experts.  However, FUSE should also appeal to programmers already
	familiar with UNIX systems that are looking for window-oriented,
	integrated programming tools.

  FUSE includes a suite of DEC Motif-based program development tools including:
   - Debugger	         + Window based debugger, layered on Ladebug
   - Builder	         + Graphical interface to 'make' and support for
				parallel and distributed builds
   - Call Graph Browser  + Program flow display/navigation tool
   - Editor	         + Text Editor, supports annotations
   - Cross-Referencer    + Integrated query and analysis facility
   - Profiler	         + Graphical processor for 'pixie/pixstats' and 'gprof'
   - Control Panel	 + Central control for FUSE environment
   - Info/Help tool      + Message based hyperhelp system and man page browser
   - C++ Class Browser   + Browser to navigate C++ class hierarchies
   - Code Manager	 + Graphical interface to RCS and SCCS
   - Compare	         + Graphical interface to 'diff'
   - Search	         + Graphical interface to 'grep' tools
   - EnCASE	         + Integration support
   - Porting Assistant   + Tool to help port applications to Digital UNIX
   - Heap Analyzer	 + Detects memory corruption and uninitialized data.
   - Version Controller  + Graphical interface for arbitrary
				check-in/check-out commands
   - Program Visualizer  + Graphically displays data from other tools
