DECvoiceBuilder Software for OpenVMS consists of four compo- nents: o DECvoiceBuilder Administrator - provides for the monitor- ing and managing of the applications and the configura- tion of the physical resources required for them to run. The DECvoiceBuilder Administrator consists of the Resource Manager and the Application Manager. o DECvoiceBuilder Application Editor - provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that is used to describe the appli- cation. This is achieved by drawing a diagram composed of objects. Each object represents one step in the application. Connections are made between the objects to indicate the flow of the application. Once the application is created, it can be saved for later modifications or turned into a running application through simple menu options. o DECvoiceBuilder Recording Studio - provides the ability to create and maintain the digitized voice recordings used as prompts for an application. o DECvoiceBuilder Run-Time Library - provides the routines the DECvoiceBuilder Application Editor utilizes when it gener- ates an application. The Run-Time library consists of two separate libraries. The application support library contains the code that interfaces to the voice devices. The text de- bug library contains the code that runs the application to the terminal screen by displaying prompts and messages, and receiving keyboard input. DECvoiceBuilder Version V1.1 provides resolutions for a number of problems in DECvoiceBuilder V1.0, as well as some feature enhancements. The primary enhancements are: o Ability to cut/paste sections of an application o Ability to subdivide application into functions o Checkpointing o Case object o FAX support o E1 support o Layout command to redraw network o Prompt Usage Enhancements - Indirect prompts (prompt from buffer, file from buffer) 2 - Improved memory use (file prompts do not stay loaded) The problems fixed by this release are detailed in the DECvoiceBuilder Production Environment Release Notes.
