We save our previous page's script to a file, say code , and insert it into the library with this command line:

texis -ci -module lookfeel code

This checks in (inserts) the script into the library as the module lookfeel , copying it from the file code . We are prompted for a log message since we didn't enter one on the command line; enter any descriptive message and end it with a ". " on a line by itself:

  shell> texis -ci -module lookfeel code
  Enter log message, terminated with single '.':
  >> Look and feel functions
  >> .
  Checked in and unlocked module lookfeel:1.1 from file code

Vortex tells us that the module was checked in, and unlocked (more about that later). The script source code was inserted into the library (the SYSLIB and SYSDEP tables in the default database. We can now delete the code file if we wish: it can always be retrieved from the library again.

Listing the library

We can list what modules are in the library with the -listlib option:

  shell> texis -listlib
  Module:Revision    Created           Locked
  -------------------------------------------
  lookfeel:1.1       1999-12-02 11:20

We see our module lookfeel and its latest (only) revision, 1.1. The creation date is given, and if the module were locked, that would be shown in the Locked column (more on that later).

Now let's use our module in a script (next page):
