====Assign special evaluation to UCT_EVALUATION====

'''Warning''': This is for advanced users ONLY.  Do not attempt this without contacting Steve!

This will show how to set up <code>$ eval_kyle</code>:
It is easy to set up multiple .COM files for the 3D evalulation tool, one such set-up is already prepared on your computer:
<pre>
$ eval_special
</pre>
will do something similar to <code>$ voi</code> where the normal contour program opens, but if you start the 3D eval, the special script <code>um:uct_evaluation_special.com</code> is called (associated with eval_special), which then in turn calls <code>ipl_fixed_batch_special.com</code>, where you can specify your own set of thresholds, etc.

So it is a daisy chain of files which we will need to follow to set up a special <code>xxx_kyle.com</code> script, and where ever we encounter <code>_special.com</code>, we copy and change it to <code>_kyle.com</code>.

So to set up <code>$ eval_kyle</code> you will need to do the following:

*1. Edit <code>disk1:[microct]microct_setup_user.com</code> (double-click on file), please be careful here, it's very important! (and I hope you have done your 'weekly full backup' regularly, so you could always retrieve a good version of login.com...)

*2. Then, towards to bottom and duplicate the line
<code>$ eval_special :== @com:eval_var.com um:uct_evaluation_special.com</code>
and change duplicate to
<code>$ eval_kyle    :== @com:eval_var.com um:uct_evaluation_kyle.com</code>

This will make this command <code>eval_kyle</code> available after you login freshly. Save and Exit.

*3. Then go to <code>disk1:[microct.eval]</code> and copy the file <code>uct_evaluation_special.com</code> to the name <code>uct_evaluation_kyle.com</code> ('Commands', 'Copy ...', BUT CLICK ON THE THREE DOTS and give new output name. 
If you do not see the <code>eval_special:</code> go to terminal, <code>$ dir ue:*special*.com</code> and take it from the <code>microct_common</code> directory)

*4. Edit the <code>_kyle.com</code> file: at the top, change <code>ipl_......_special.com</code> to <code>_kyle.com</code>

*5. Copy <code>ipl_fixed_batch_special.com</code> to <code>ipl_fixed_batch_kyle.com</code>

*6. Edit <code>ipl_fixed_batch_kyle.com</code> to your liking. If you want <code>$ eval_kyle</code> to not perform the full evaluation, but only something akin to <code>voi</code>, then, in the steps above, copy <code>uct_eval_voi.com</code> to <code>uct_evaluation_kyle.com</code>, and <code>ipl_voi.com</code> to <code>ipl_fixed_batch_kyle.com</code> (thus you take the <code>voi</code> script as template for the <code>_kyle</code> script).

*7. Then open a new terminal ('applications', 'decterm'), <code>$ eval_kyle</code> should work now!

'''Notes''': When you start the 3D eval, then
<code>$ que</code>
will show you your batch job with your name on it now!

And now a few more explanations how the whole thing works: in all eval programs, hitting 'Start 3d' just submits the logical <code>uct_evaluation</code>, <code>$ show log uct_evaluation</code> shows you that by default, this points to <code>ue:uct_evaluation_v4.com</code>.

Those little <code>voi</code> and <code>eval_steve</code> scripts then just temporarily redefine this logical so that a different script is submitted when you <code>'start 3d eval'</code>.

About the '''corelut eval''': Then we start a whole different eval program: the <code>.exe_corelut</code>. So, if you set up a <code>eval_steve_c</code> (or whatever you want to call it): Produce a <code>eval_var_c.com</code> in the directory commands (maybe copy from microct_common to [microct.commands]), and there, on the last line, instead of starting
<code>$ uct_evaluation</code>
(the normal program), replace by
<code>$ evalc</code>
which starts the <code>.exe_corelut</code> - and because the <code>eval_var.com</code> has over-ridden the <code>uct_evaluation</code> logical just before, then you are starting different script upon starting 3d eval.
NB: we have a logical AND a symbol called <code>uct_evalution</code>. Sorry for confusion. Symbol <code>uct_evaluation</code> starts normal <code>eval</code> program, so this is what you replace by symbol <code>evalc</code> now).
