+As an alternative, GNU Enterprise supports a configuration option called the
address@hidden path}. You can simply place your GCD files (and also the GLD 
files

+subdirectory of any of these directories, send the gnue-appserver process a
+SIGHUP signal, and GNU Enterprise will read in the GCD files automatically.

 Now we can see how GNU Enterprise displays a much nicer form:
