Installing the Software

Publication 2706-6.2

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.

c. 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

Do not close the file at this time.

5. If your AUTOEXEC.BAT is not open in your ASCII text editor,

then open it now. If you use the DOS text editor, type:

EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

Your AUTOEXEC.BAT file contents will appear in the editing
window.

6. Locate the line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file that begins with

the word PATH. This is your system’s “Path Statement”, which
tells DOS where to look for executable files when no specific
path is otherwise specified.

7. Move to the end of the Path line and insert the complete name for

the directory in which the INTERCHANGE server files were
stored. In a standard installation they are located in
C:\ABIC\BIN. When you have finished editing it, your Path
Statement will look like this:

PATH=C:\DOS;C:\APP1;C\APP2;C:\ABIC\BIN
