INSTRUCTIONS FOR USERS THAT WANT PROCAT FOR WINDOWS TO CONNECT TO SEVERAL
DIFFERENT TRANSCEIVER BRANDS (AND) OR MODELS:
The result of the following steps will be a separate ICON on your Windows
desktop for each radio that you own. Under the ICON will be the identification
for the radio model that the ICON will control. Each radio will have its own
PROCAT.DBF file in its own area on disk, and its own LOGBOOK. If you want all
of your PROCAT ICONS to SHARE THE SAME LOGBOOK (which is very likely), create
a C:\PFWLOG subdirectory and put PFWLOG.MDB and PFWLOG.LDB in it. You will
find these files in the destination directory for any of your radios, AFTER
the setup program has been run and AFTER ProCat has been executed for the
first time.
If you would like to have more than one transceiver defined in ProCat for
Windows, here is how you can do it:
GO TO DOS
1. You should create an install subdirectory on your hard disk, call
it C:\INSTALL. Copy your PROWIN21.EXE into this subdirectory, then
explode it (c:\install>PROWIN21).
2. If you have registered, put your registered files disk in floppy A: or B:,
then copy the files, (c:\install>copy a:*.*).
GO TO WINDOWS
1. Select FILE from program manager, RUN, BROWSE, C drive, INSTALL
subdirectory, SETUP.EXE, OK, OK. When the setup program asks you for the
subdirectory name, replace C:\PROCATW with C:\IC735 (or "your" radio).
Allow the setup program to complete.
2. A PROCAT folder will be created, having a PROCAT icon in it. Click once
on the PROCAT icon, then select FILE from the program manager, then
PROPERTIES, change the DESCRIPTION to your radio name, enter a SHORTCUT
KEY if you want one. CLICK OK. Next, MOUSE DOWN on the PROCAT ICON and
DRAG IT into the APPLICATIONS folder on the windows desktop.
3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for all remaining radios, swapping the suggested
"C:\PROCATW" with the radio name you want to use (as in step 1).
4. DOUBLE CLICK on the APPLICATIONS folder on the desktop, MOUSE DOWN on one
of the PROCAT ICONS that was created, and DRAG it over the PROCAT folder.
Release the mouse button. Do this for all of your PROCAT icons.
5. Don't worry about the amount of DISK SPACE that will be used by repeated
installations, each subdirectory is smaller than the size of a 3.5" low
density floppy.
6. You can have multiple PROCAT's running at the same time as long as they
don't share the same COMM port. Open the PROCAT folder and select the
radio you want to use!
GO TO DOS
1. Remove the INSTALL subdirectory and any files that are in it.
- c:\install>cd \
- c:>del install
- c:>rd install
2. Copy PROVALID.EXE from your registration floppy into each of the
subdirectorys that were created during the installation process
and run the program to register your program in that subdirectory.
