15 Each configuration tool that is requested in the requirements document
16 needs to be described to the SCRAM configuration manager.
17 This is done with an
18 SGML Description Document.
19 The document
20 will describe such things as the default location of the tool on the system,
21 names of libraries and environmental variables that need to be set.

47 Set up a variable in the scram environment for this tool. Anything between
48 these tags should describe the purpose of the Environmental variable. It is
49 printed out as a guide to the user if SCRAM needs to ask for help in setting
50 up the value of the variable.
