Auxiliary Materials

• You may need to obtain the source code for Tcl/Tk that is consistent with many releases of EPICS (as gzip'ed tar files) from: tcl-7.4, tk-4.0, tcl-dp-3.3b1, and blt-1.8.
• To build one of the alternate EPICS tools, GDCT, you may find it easier to use pre-built Interviews includes are available from: iv-includes, and libraries for Solaris, SunOS, and HP-UX are available from: libraries.
• A useful application to add to any IOC is called "VxStats"; it reports on the CPU, memory, and outher resource usage; allows rebooting; and provides for reloading the access security configuration. Source code, a database, and operator screens (DM2K format) are available at: vxStats.tar.gz
