Programs Menu.txt
=================

This file explains how the "Programs" menu works in all
the applications of PTS Toolkit.

PTS Editor
PTS 'Scope
PTS Terminal

These three programs register themselves when installed.

Q-Drive Setup
Motion Generator
Operators Panel Editor

These three programs do not.


PTS Editor; PTS 'Scope; PTS Terminal; Q-Drive Setup
---------------------------------------------------

These four programs look in the registry for information
on how to start another application in PTS Toolkit 2000.
The registry key for Editor, 'Scope and Terminal is set up
automatically.  To manually enter Q-Drive Setup, Motion 
and Operators Panel Editor the registry key is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Quin Systems Ltd.\Other Programs

And the entry is:

QDRIVE = "application path"\QDRIVE.EXE
MOT16 = "application path"\MOT16.EXE
OPPAN16 = "application path"\OPPAN16.EXE

where "application path" is the full path to the program.

If this registry key is blank the software will attempt to
run the program in the current directory.


Motion Generator; Operators Panel Editor
----------------------------------------

These two programs look in their .INI file for information.
(Motion Generator = MOT16.INI,
 Operators Panel Editor = OPPAN16.INI)
This .INI file can probably be found in the Windows directory

The information should be entered as follows:

[Extras]
PTSEDIT="application path"\PTSEDIT.EXE
PTSSCOPE="application path"\PTSSCOPE.EXE
PTSTERM="application path"\PTSTERM.EXE
QDRIVE="application path"\QDRIVE.EXE
MOT16="application path"\MOT16.EXE
OPPAN16=""application path"\OPPAN16.EXE

where "application path" is the full path to the program.

Note: Both these applications are 16bit and therefore do not
understand long file names - "Program Files" will be
something like "Progra~1".

If this information is blank the software will attempt to
run the program in the current directory.
