====== Model Base Patcher ======

===== Overview =====
The modelbase patcher is used manually patch a SAMM modelbase.
Care must be taken when using the utility as it is possible to
cause damage to the modelbase.

To use the patcher:

1. log into the samm account

2. start the utility: MBpatcher

The premise behind the MBpatcher utility is that you first
navigate to the location of the file you want to patch in
the modelbase and then use the patch command to patch a
record in the file.

Before patching the file, one normally looks at the file
with the show command to see the current settings and determine
the record to be patched.

In order to navigate to the position of the file a number of
variables must be set before using the 'moveto' command. In order
they are MBroot, mf, fw, dir, var and hierPath. What you need
to set depends on where you want to go. For example, if you want
to patch the "fwTbl" then you only need to set the MBroot
and mf.

Here is the list of command availible in MBpatcher:

help command - show help for the command
where - show current director
look - show files in current directory
up - move up one directory
set - set a variable
moveto - move to a location
show - show a file
patch - patch a file
quit - quit MBpatcher

You can get this list in MBpatcher by typing help. And for more
information of on a particular command, type help cmdName.

When patching a file, the prompt will be changed to "patch>>".
When you are finished making the patch, type done and MBpatcher
will prompt you to confirm changes as required.
