mecca/copy program mecca --copy program Checkout the code for a program.
New on Linux mecca --uncopy Inverse of --copy. Checks for uncommited changes in the current directory and if the user confirms then removes all files from the current directory. This leaves the directory ready for another mecca --copy.

New on Linux mecca --certify program Records a program to be at least as functional on Linux as it is on VMS. This allows the program to access the real file sharing area instead of the duplicate file sharing set up for Linux port testing. It also makes Linux the default platform for the application.
New on Linux mecca --uncertify program Undo for the --certify command in case any issues are detected after an apparently errant certification.
mecca /ipe mecca --ipe Run IPE (the Index Page Editor).
