I have symbolic links in my bin directory for vscout to pick up Dale's version,
three more links to pick up the profiles that Dale uses,
and a few lines in .Xdefaults 'cause Dale's defaults suck.  The link commands are
    ln -s /u/Dale/public/vscout/vscout  ~/bin/vscout
    ln -s /u/Dale/.vscout               ~/.vscout
    ln -s /u/Dale/.vscout.walnut        ~/.vscout.walnut
    ln -s /u/Dale/.vscout.sycamore      ~/.vscout.sycamore
The lines I have in my ~/.Xdefaults are
    ! Vscout stuff that Dale says I need.
    .vscout.graph.graph_pane.scrw1.ScrolledWindowClipWindow.draw_area1.background: black
    .vscout.main_window.scrw.*.draw.background: black
    vscout*background: wheat
    vscout.fontM: Rom10.500
    vscout.fontL: Rom8.500
    vscout.fontB: Rom29.500

  You need to run vscout from a window that has an admin token.  Also, if you're
going to keep vscout up and running for quicker access when you *do* need it,
remember to turn off polling, via Options, PollTog (stands for Polling Toggle).
You can tell polling is turned off if the "Poll Count: nn" line is red.  This way
the program won't be bugging the servers every few minutes to update its display.

  If you don't specify a profile with the -C option, vscout looks for .vscout in
the *current* directory (not your home directory that I, for some reason, assumed)
and the message you get, "couldn't open VScout profile." isn't that illuminating.
There are three config files, 
.vscout (the default), which gets redwood, 
                                  oak,
                                  spruce,
                              and cypress.
.vscout.walnut, which gets cedar,
                           walnut,
                           willow,
                           aspen,
                       and ash.
and .vscout.sycamore, which gets the rest, juniper,
                                           buckeye-10,
                                       and sycamore.
(The new AFS Database servers, alder, birch, and elm, won't have user disks on them,
so there's no need to use vscout on them.)

To use the other config file, say vscout -C .vscout.walnut &
                               or vscout -C .vscout.sycamore &

The outline of a partition (biggest box) is the partition capacity/maximum.
The green shading is the actual usage (not the allocated quota).

Clicking the right mouse button on a partition will show the allocated quota
(if nothing shows, it has little or nothing allocated).

Clicking the left mouse button shows the actual volumes on that partition.

Clicking the middle mouse button shows the quota and usage for each volume in the partition.

To do point & shoot vos moves,
  - Start vscout from a shell with the admin token,
  - Select the source volume with the left mouse button,
  - Select the destination volume.
This will build the vos move command.
