Some BIRD 121.1 comments that come to mind quickly:
1. There is inconsistency in the parameter naming. To be consistent with
³Supporting_Files² and most AMI reserved parameters, I think ³DLLPath²
should be ³DLL_Path² and ³DLLid² should be ³DLL_ID².
2. In the last ATM meeting it sounded like there was an expectation that
³DLLPath² would point to the directory that is the CWD (Current Working
Directory) for the DLL, and where the IBIS file resides, and also where the
Supporting_Files would be found. I may be mistaken. But if not, then since
the DLL can find out it¹s CWD anyway, what is DLLPath really needed for? The
description says it is a ³string that contains the correct path information
for the algorithmic model². I¹m not sure what that means.
3. Would ³DLLid² require less explanation if it was called ³Instance_ID² or
³Unique_ID²?
4. Maybe we should have some rules for ³DLLid². For example, the character
set should be limited to characters suitable for use in file names. Should
there also be a maximum character count limitation, maybe 16? This might
help if some file names generated using ³DLLid² have to appear in other
files that have some kind of line or field limitation.
