ENVOX Top Level Form allows you to automatically populate the
HACL.

been added.

systems.
J ENVOX P4.0 is compatible only with Control Desktop P2.0.
J For ENVOX P4.0, only the PDX utility is recommended for
transferring databases.
J ENVOX Daemon goes through an automatic re-start if a task which is
run by ENVOX Daemon “crashes”. Certain tasks do not occur in
auto-restart. See the ENVOX System Manager’s Guide for details.
