Updating BMC Files

You can update an existing BMC file. This may be necessary, for example, to add new messages or to change a message. This can be done in the following way:

1. If the original SMC file for a given BMC file exists, you can edit it using a text editor. Otherwise create a new SMC file.
   1. Make your changes, such as adding, deleting, or changing messages.
   2. Change the minor number of the version number in the header. For example, change the version from 2.0 to 2.1.
   3. Save the file.
2. Generate the new BMC file using the bmcgen command; place the new BMC file in the corresponding language directory.
3. In the directory containing the BMC file, run the bmcmap command to create a new BMC map file.
