# $EPIC: builtins.txt,v 1.2 2007/03/01 03:26:44 jnelson Exp $

Synopsis:

load builtins

Description:

This script ensures backwards compatability with epic4 by implementing certain commands, functions, and sets that are not built-in to epic5.

In some places, exact duplication of epic4 behavior is not possible, so a close approximation has been made.

For most purposes, this script should only be used for backwards compatability.

host The same as userhost
