How to reload a SKILL-script in Allegro

Quist
Quist over 5 years ago

I am working on some SKILL scripts which are loaded by allegro.ilinit at startup.

If I edit my .il-files how do I get them updated in Allegro?

Right now I restart the program but there must be a simpler way.

A newbie question, I know...  Grin

    Skill requires the use of Unix style pathnames ( i.e. / instead of \\ ), below is a couple of example alias entries in my env file for reloading a skill file I developed for a client:

    alias smtc '(load "c:/users/davidh/documents/smtc.il")'
    alias tsc '(load "c:/users/davidh/documents/tsc.il")'
