Problem:

On the same computer , I would like to work in different modes .

Resolution:

To manage working mode , it is necessary to use either command cobmode or environment variable COBMODE .

The Working Mode can be global   

( defined in $COBDIR directory )

: cobmode -s

The Working Mode can be user

     ( defined in $HOME directory )     : cobmode -u

The Working Mode can be local    

( defined in the local working directory )  : cobmode -d

The Working Mode can be in local environment  

environment variable COBMODE

cobmode -s     :  modifies  $COBDIR/etc/cobmoderc

cobmode -u    : modifies  $HOME/.cobmoderc

cobmode -d    : modifies  ./ cobmode

$COBMODE overrides all others working modes

The local Working Mode overrides the user Working Mode and the global Working Mode

The user Working Mode overrides the global Working Mode

cobmode -a  displays all Working Modes

cobmode -v  displays the effective mode .
