On the CNF conversion computers, Korat and Minx, type in: ledit .
On Minx only, the L-Edit command now points directly to the CNF defaults file, ledit.tdb.
(DO NOT attempt to run more than one copy of LEdit at the same time).
Use On Windows and on Korat, use File - Open to open ledit.tdb from the CNF Files Location mentioned above.
This file is a system file and cannot be updated by users. So, upon starting L-Edit, users will receive the following error message:
File "...ledit.tdb" can be opened only for reading. Changes to it cannot be saved.
Do you want to open it as Read-Only?
Answer Yes. If users answer "No", L-Edit will not load the CNF default settings and will not start with a new Cell in which to draw.
When saving the design file for the first time, users will choose Save As from the File menu. In the Save dialog box, users will then need to browse to a location to save the ledit TDB file. In the Linux version of L-Edit, this will be My Computer - W: and then some subfolder of the AFS home folder.
