AddDataTypes (3.x Only in C:)
NAME
AddDataTypes - Adds additional data types after
booting.
SYNOPSIS
AddDataTypes [files] [Quiet] [Refresh]
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to support the object oriented
Data Type process used by MultiView. All data files that
are processed by multiview are passed to system-standard
libraries for that kind of data (for instance, a .gif is
sent to a system-standard library that is coded for
.gif). In order to be passed to a system-standard library
(all of which are located in L: directory). If a library
is added after boot-time, it can be used immediatly with
the help of this command. This save you the hassle from
having to reboot after adding new datatypes.
EXAMPLES
1. To add a gif displayer for multiview
AddDataTypes sys:Devs/Datatypes/GIF
2. To add a gif datatype without printing any output
to the screen (useful in writing scripts)
AddDataTypes sys:Devs/Datatypes/GIF Quiet
3. To scan the DEVS:DataTypes for new or updated
entries
AddDataTypes Refresh
