PCBCheck 1.2 QuickSetup
Jim Dahl
One of the design goals of PCBCheck was ease-of-setup (as mentioned in
length in the full documentation). Therefore, I will devote little time
to explanations, histories, or technical workings in this document, rather
this document will provide a true 'quick setup' for PCBCheck. This
document makes assumptions that the reader is familiar with the basic
functions of upload checkers, so it does not include in-depth descriptions
of functions and their purposes, rather the full documentation provides
that information.
1. Installation
Make a directory (I recommend as close to the root directory as possible as
DOS imposes limitations on command lengths, and some of the archiving and
dearchiving commands PCBCheck issues can get pretty long, particularly with
long path names) and put all the PCBCheck files in it.
PCBCHECK.EXE
SETUP.EXE
*.PCC
PCBCHECK.SCR
Note, PCBCheck should have its own directory!
2. SETUP program
The only thing necessary is to run the SETUP program. It is fairly self-
explanatory, though a few items need further explanation. That explanation
can either be obtained by reading the documentation, or by hitting F1 from
any field (for specific help on that field). An example is the
Maximum Age of Uploads field. You would not know, unless you looked at
the help screen or read the full documentation, that it wants the age in
months, and that 0 disables age checking, etc... The on-line help should
get you through a quick setup.
Note- certain functions, such as keyword checking, may require you to edit
a keyword list file, etc... These are optional features, though, nothing
else is required for minimum operation.
Also, if you want different configurations for each conference, you must
read the full documentation.
3. Batch File
SETUP now modifies PCBTEST.BAT if it can find it (and if it hasn't already
been modified to run PCBCHECK). It creates a PCBTEST.BAT which reads:
@ECHO OFF
D:\PCBCHECK\PCBCHECK.EXE %1 %2 %3 [port]
Should you, for some reason, need to create it yourself, those two lines
are all that is necessary. The optional parameter [port], only for special
cases with non-standard comm equipment, is explained in the documentation.
4. System setup
I strongly recommend you have SHARE loaded if possible, and also add the
PCBCheck directory to your path. Note that the first two recommendations
I will ALWAYS make if you contact me for support will be to load SHARE and
put the PCBCheck directory in the path, if you haven't already done so.
That's it (in just one page)!
