Sure, no problem. I was hoping I'd finish writing about using Options
Configuration Modeling Language (OCML) today, but I'm facing an
unexpected road block.

In the CosMIC Tutorial Movie
(http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/cosmic/html/documentation.html), OCML is
used via ImplementationArtifact(s). Implementation Artifact used to have
a 'tree_file_name' where we'd specify 'orb_tree.xml' and then click on
the 'Options Configuration interpreter.'

The 'tree_file_name' no longer exists as an attribute on
ImplementationArtifact(s), neither does the 'Options Configuration
interpreter.' Has the way we do this change?

Thanks,
Abdul
