Corrected & Known Anomalies

SPMA (SPECTRUM Portable Management
Applications)
Known Anomalies:
Problem 1: Some of the SPMA applications create/use files to store user-
defined information. These files are placed in the directory pointed to by
the environment variable CTRONDB. By default, the script used to launch
SPMA applications sets the CTRONDB variable to:
{Install Directory}/SPMA/db directory
The retrieved files are owned by the first person to use the SPMA
applications. Subsequent changes by other users will not be saved
because they do not have write permission to those database files. Only
the creator of those files can modify them.
Solution: CTRONDB functions as designed. You can set the environment
variable CTRONDB to point to some location other than the default
location before bringing up SpectroGRAPH. This will allow you to modify
the retrieved files.
