Hint: Before editing a
critical file like models.wrm, it is always a good idea to
make a copy of the current version of the file, so that you
could always revert to it if you really mess things up. For
example, before editing the file, make a copy called
models.wrm.bak1. The file extension can be anything, but
'bakx' is often used for different versions of backup
files. |
Hint: For the next part of
the tutorial, you may avoid some typing errors by copying
and pasting lines from this tutorial into your models.wrm
file. |
Take home lesson: When you're learning to
use ACEDB, make changes to models in small increments,
rather than adding a new complex model in one step. That
way, when messages pop up, the message must refer to the
one change you've made since the last successful Read
models command. |
