Super SEL Controller PC Interface Software Windows Version, Additional Applications
Introduction
Those who have been using the Super SEL Controller PC Interface Software DOS version may find some inconvenience in
using the Windows version since the data formats are not compatible. Because of this, we have prepared a data conversion
software (CONV.EXE) for your use.
Please be careful to note that this additional software (CONV.EXE) is designed to run in DOS, not Windows. If you intend
to use this converter all the time, you can run the file from any location if you set up a path to the directory where the
(CONV.EXE) file resides. To set up the path, add the string given below to the (AUTOEXEC.BAT) file in the root directory.
PATH=A:\SEL32WIN;%PATH%
In this example, the file resides in the root directory called SEL32WIN located in the A drive. (If your SEL32WIN
program is stored in a different drive, change the name accordingly).
Data Converter - How to Use CONV.EXE
CONV.EXE is a program that is run from DOS and allows conversion of IAI data files from DOS format to the Windows
format and vice versa. Exit Windows or run the program from the DOS window.
To use, enter the following at the command line,
CONV.EXE file name.extension
During this operation the type of data is distinguished by the extension so please make sure to include the extension when
entering the file name. The data type and extension are as follows.
Type of file DOS Windows
Parameter file *.PAR *.PRM
Program file *.F32 *.PRG
Collective save program file *.X32 *.ALL
Point file *.P32 *.PNT
The name of the converted file will be the original file with an extension corresponding to the new data type. If that file name
is the same as another existing file, the following prompt will appear.
...FileName.EXT exists, Overwrite OK [Y: yes] ?
If it is okay to overwrite the existing file, press Y. If you press any other key, the program will end without converting the file
or it will move on to the next file to be converted.
You can use the wild cards * and ? to designate the file.
* = any character string and ? = any character.
