FeatherNet / ZipLab Usage ** R E V I S E D ** 11-28-91 ------------------------- FeatherNet is Now 100% ZipLab compatible in PCBoard(R) mode. Configuring FeatherNet for ziplab is this simple: (1) Install the NEW 'fnchk.exe' included in this archive (2) Install the NEW 'cname2a.exe' file included in this archive. CHDIR to EACH node directory and run CNAME2A.EXE (3) Remove any lines from your sr.bat or fnettest.bat files which say "SET PCBDOOR=PRODOOR". You may replace "PRODOOR" with "XXXXXXXX" if desired. But DO REMOVE the word "PRODOOR" from the SET PCBDOOR= command. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ That is all. FNCHK will now create the PCBoard(R) "UPDESC.x" file in the WORK directory (I finally found where it goes). Whenever ZIPLAB is done FNCHK reads the description and what is in "UPDESC.x" is the NEW file description. (Note that the "x" on the end of the "UPDESC.x" file name is the node number which is read from PCBOARD.DAT. If you prefer another upload checker/verifier over ZipLab and it handles the "UPDESC.x" file just answer "Y" in fnchk.cfg in the first line as you would for ZipLab.
