XSTARTCOMD(1)

NAME

     xstartcomd - start Desert Project Manager

SYNOPSIS

     xstartcomd [ -nologo ] [ -create <path> ] [ -Display ] [ -java ]
     <project>

DESCRIPTION

     xstartcomd starts the Desert project manager comd . This tool
     allows the user to define new projects and to edit the definition
     of old projects.  The definition of a project includes the direc-
     tories that are considered part of the project and directories to
     be used for looking for include files for the project.  For
     further information see the Desert documentation available
     through a web browser.

OPTIONS

     The command line options given to this command are passed on to
     comd . These include:

     -nologo
          Do not display the Desert logo at startup if this is the
          first Desert tool to run.

     -create <path>
          Create a new project that includes the given directory.  The
          user will be asked to edit first the set of directories to
          use and then the directories to be searched for include
          files.

     -java
          Assume that any new project is going to use Java.  This
          automatically adds the contents of the CLASSPATH environment
          variable to the list of directories to search for include
          files for a project.

     -Display
          Do not create the 3D display of the directories and files in
          the project.  Note that this display is only created if you
          have a 24bit display and Open Inventor is available.

     <project>
          This specifies the project that comd should open.  If none
          is specified, COMD will attempt to open the project for the
          current directory.
