Registering and Unregistering.txt
=================================

This file explains about registering and unregistering
applications within PTS Toolkit.

You might need to do this if PTS Terminal and/or PTS 'Scope
give an error when they start:
"PTS Terminal not installed properly
PTScomm.ocx not found"
(similar error for the 'scope)

Windows uses as system of "registration" to remember where
an application is and what it does (e.g. its file type).

This is performed automatically when PTS Toolkit is installed
but can be performed manually if necessary.

An application call REGSVR32.EXE is required for registration
of some parts of the Toolkit.  This is often found in
C:\Windows\System, but is also on the Toolkit distribution CD.

Details will be given for each part of PTS Toolkit.


PTS Editor
----------

To (un)register this manually use the command prompt:

CD<to the right directory where PTSEdit.EXE is>
PTSEDIT /regserver

this will register PTS Editor

PTSEDIT /unregister

this will unregister PTS Editor


PTS 'Scope
----------

To (un)register this manually use the command prompt:

CD<to the right directory where PTSscope.EXE is>
<path of regsvr32>\regsvr32 scope.ocx
PTSSCOPE /regserver

this will register PTS 'Scope

<path of regsvr32>\regsvr32 /u scope.ocx
PTSSCOPE /unregister

this will unregister PTS 'Scope


PTS Terminal
------------

To (un)register this manually use the command prompt:

CD<to the right directory where PTSterm.EXE is>
<path of regsvr32>\regsvr32 ptscomm.ocx
PTSTERM /regserver

this will register PTS Terminal

<path of regsvr32>\regsvr32 /u ptscomm.ocx
PTSTERM /unregister

this will unregister PTS Terminal


QDrive Setup
------------

This is not registered with Windows.


Motion Generator
----------------

The file type (.SHP) is associated but the application is not
registered.

To associate/break the association of .SHP use the "File Types"
dialog in Explorer. (Often found in the View menu, Folder
Options choice).

----------------------

The file type (.PAN) is associated but the application is not
registered.
