D3 allows a user (port), or the global environment, to be set to a particular Pick compatible environment using the TCL set-compat command. Using this command allows functionality to be added to D3 that is specific to a particular Pick compatible environment.
The default value of the set-compat command is D3. Other Pick compatible environments currently supported are Sequoia and Ultimate. The syntax is:
|
set-compat {environment} {(g} |
where environment is the Pick compatible environment to emulate and (g is used to globally set the compatibility setting.
