Compiling a CFG file

 

A CFG file is compiled from a source configuration file (.src). Use the CFG Compiler to compile a new configuration file. (To obtain the CFG Compiler, contact Spicer Corporation Customer Support -- support@spicer.com.)

To compile a CFG file:

1. Open an MS-DOS window or a UNIX terminal window.

2. In the window, change to the Imagenation program directory. Ensure that the SRC file which you are compiling and the CFG Compiler (cfgcomp.exe) are also in this directory.

3. Type cfgcomp -s file.src -c file.cfg

where cfgcomp = command to start the compiler.
-s = switch that indicates the source file.
file.src = name of the source file.
-c = switch that indicates the configuration file.
file.cfg = name of the compiled configuration file.

Tip: Give the SRC file and the CFG file the same name to allow you to track the different files.

4. Press ENTER.

The CFG file is compiled.

Note You must only distribute the CFG file with Imagenation. Do not distribute the SRC file or the CFG Compiler. The CFG file you created for an integration can be altered if someone edits the SRC file. This can create security and operation problems.
