 3 Syntax as a command:  xforum {-control_args}
 4 
 5 
 6 Function:  invokes the Executive Forum facility
 7 
 8 
 9 Control arguments:
10 -force, -fc
11     rebuilds the meeting list using the current search paths.
12 -no_force, -nfc
13     uses the original meeting list.  (Default)

15 
16 Meeting Lists:
17 Executive Forum uses three types of meeting lists -- one for meetings
18 that the user is eligible to attend, one for meetings the user
19 regularly attends, and one for meetings that have changed since the
20 user last attended them.  The list of meetings the user is eligible to
21 attend is established the first time the user invokes Executive Forum
22 during a login session.  It is constructed from the search paths in
23 effect at that time.
24 
25 
26 If a meeting is added to those search paths, that is, the search paths
27 remain the same but the meetings in them change, the -force control
28 argument must be used to reconstruct the meeting list.  Otherwise, the
29 previously constructed meeting list is used.
30 
31 
32 If the user's search paths change, Executive Forum notices the
33 differences when it is invoked and asks the user whether or not the
34 meeting list should be reconstructed.
35 
36 
37 Notes:  To start the Executive Forum facility, type either
38 "executive_forum" or "xforum" when a ready message (usually of the form
39 "r 14:03 0.285 5") appears on the terminal screen just above the
40 cursor.  Users operate Executive Forum by selecting operations from
41 lists called menus.  All help needed to operate the system is available
42 within the Executive Forum facility itself.
43 
44 
45 Executive Forum has exactly the same AIM limitations as Forum.
46 Meetings are single-class segments.  All participants must be logged in
47 at the same authorization, which must be the access class of the
48 meeting.  Different meetings, however may be at different access
49 classes.  The access class of a meeting is the authorization of the
50 chairman at the time the meeting was created.
