4. File Check Utility

4.1 Overview

The file check utility is used to check if an objective file has been successfully installed on the

partner-side H/PC. This function has the capability to detect an installation error irrespective of the

file transfer method used.

The transfer method involves a file transferred either between a host PC and H/PC or between two

H/PCs. It also includes copy operations from the card.

The term, "host PC", includes a personal computer (PC) and an H/PC which emulates the operation

of a PC.

4.2 List of Functions

The file check utility includes the following functions.

4.3 Pathname Describing Method

4.3.1 Description of Pathnames

Always enclose a pathname in a pair of quotation marks. One pathname must be 255 characters
or less including the two quotation marks. A 2-byte code character is counted as one character.

Example: FCHKCE /G "

casio data*.dat" "d:data" "casio data"

Pathnames should be described in accordance with the path naming rule supported by the OS of
the machine on which the specified path is to be placed.

Observe the following rule for drive letters if describing pathnames:
Specify a pathname on the H/PC so in begins with the root directory (my HT) and do not

include a drive letter.

If a pathname with a drive letter is specified, the drive letter will be ignored by the FCHKCE on

the H/PC side. (This pathname specification is treated equal to a specification from the root

directory without a drive letter.)

If the communication partner (PC, etc.) runs on an OS that requires drive letter specification,

and if the H/PC requires the pathname of a file or directory on the partner side to be specified,

always attach the appropriate drive letter.
