“Manage Envy Libraries” Panel
In the above panel, Environments has three known library server names:
o The first line identifies the File I/O library access. Only one development environment can be connected to a File I/O-based library at a time.
o ‘192.168.10.131’ identifies the server address of a machine which is running the library server program EMSRV which allows many development images to access and share a library.
o ‘build’ identifies the name of a server machine which is converted to an IP address using standard Domain Name Server (DNS) lookup
You can register a new Envy server name/address from this panel by pressing the
button above the
Envy Servers list.
You can edit the server information by selecting an EnvyServer name. When you select an Envy Server name, a row of buttons are displayed on the line which provides access to the operations you can perform on the Envy Server name/address:

You can remove the installation using the "View/Edit Registered VA Smalltalk Installations" button (third button over at top of main Environments window).

Environments will not let you remove an installation that still has one or more environments attached to it.
