You will be required to enter information about the DL5 that you have just
named. The program will store this information in a .CNF (configuration)
file. The Off-line Programmer will create a .CNF file for each DL5 Message
Display. The .CNF files are stored differently depending on the type of
computer system as listed below.
•
For systems with 1 hard and 1 floppy or micro disk drives, the .CNF files
are stored on the hard disk in the C:\DL5 directory.
•
For systems with 2 floppy or micro disk drives, the .CNF files are stored
on the floppy or micro disk in the ”A” drive (or other working drive).
•
For systems with 1 floppy or micro disk drive, the .CNF files are stored
on the floppy or micro disk that you have in your machine. Remember to
replace your system disk with a storage disk before saving DL5 names
and messages.

ATTENTION: Deleting the configuration file from DOS will
also delete the counter value that represents the total number of
message blocks used in the DL5. See the edit screen on page 14
to see where the ”Total Used” counter data is shown.
