Saving Files

The application file is saved whenever you exit from the File menu, unless
you choose Don’t Save, just Exit from the Exit menu. Frequent saving is
recommended.

IMPORTANT: It is possible for the development computer to run out of
memory when saving an application file, if the file contains a very large
number of long messages (information messages, alarm messages, and/or
local messages). This can be remedied by deleting some messages,
especially those which were recently created. When creating application
files which require a great number of long messages, it is advisable to save
the application file every 100 messages.

Copying, Deleting and Renaming Files

To copy, delete or rename files, choose Files in the Main menu. The
options available in the File menu are the same for Application Files, Hex
Files, and All Files.

Application Files are DOS files which end in CFG.

Hex Files are application files which have been converted into Intel Hex

format for transfer to EPROMs.

All Files refers to all DOS files, including application files, Hex files

and any other files.
