APSIE Overview
The APS import/export utility, APSIE, lets you convert:
•
APS archive files and program documentation into ASCII text files
•
ASCII text files that contain an SLC 500 program and program documentation
into APS archive files
You install APSIE as you install APS, although it executes separately from APS.
APSIE interacts with archive and documentation files generated by all versions of
APS.
Another key feature of APSIE is its Define Directory function. This function lets
you specify the drives and directories that APSIE reads files from and writes files
to. With this capability you can have files in any MS–DOS directory. For more
information on user directories, see chapter 2, Configuring the APS Import/Export
Utility.
