The two are not related, other than the fact that both make use of macLib from

From a user perspective, don't they expand substitution/template files
the same way?
Do I need to change my CONFIG directory for msi?

I remember doing this in the past...

Don't you keep the history of your application sources in CVS or some other
version control system? This shows you one good reason to do so...

Thank you for the advice.
I have been using dbLoadTemplate only for testing.
Why? dbl is an st.cmd file command; it has nothing to do with the syntax that
dbLoadTemplate() accepts.

dbl is in my template file for testing .... oops... wrong testing entry!
changed to
record (ao, "test") {
}

If you were meaning to expand your substitution files at build time you would
use msi for that and give it a substitution file, using the same syntax that
dbLoadTemplate() is looking for, and then you probably wouldn't use
dbLoadTemplate() at all on the IOC.

I guess that's a possibility.
Thanks,
