Chapter 3
Installing the Software

3 – 5

This program copies all required INTERCHANGE files to the directory

\ABIC\BIN

on your hard disk. Those files include the executable

INTERCHANGE servers listed below:

– DTL_KT.EXE

CFG_DF1.EXE

– DTL_DF1.EXE

RNASTR.EXE

– CFG_KT.EXE

RNA.EXE

Important: The next part of the installation and configuration

process depends on how you use your PC. If you use
your PC for other activities in addition to offline
programming, then you should create a new batch file as
described in step 3 below. If you use your PC solely for
the Offline Programming Software, then modify your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file as described in step 4 below.

3 If you use your PC for other activities in addition to offline programming,

then create a new batch file containing the INTERCHANGE server files
listed above. You can name the file anything you want, but it must end
with the extension

.BAT

. For purposes of illustration, assume you will call

the file

ABICRUN.BAT

, and assume your hard drive is drive C:

a. Create the file with any ASCII text editor. If you use the DOS text

editor, type:

EDIT C:\ABICRUN.BAT

b. Type in the names of the INTERCHANGE server files. Put each file

name on its own line followed by a hard return:

DTL_KT.EXE
DTL_DF1.EXE
CFG_KT.EXE
CFG_DF1.EXE
RNASTR.EXE
RNA.EXE

c. Save the file. If you are using the DOS text editor, type:

[ALT]FXY

d. Skip step 4 and go on to step 5.

4 If you use your PC solely for the Offline Programming Software, you

need not create a new batch file. Instead, you should modify your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file to load the INTERCHANGE server files

whenever you start your system.

a. Open the

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file with any ASCII text editor. If you

use the DOS text editor, type:

EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

Your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file contents will appear in the editing

window.

b. Move the cursor to the end of the file.
