- 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.
