Redistributing EPSON RC+ projects

Purpose
This document contains instructions on how to redistribute EPSON RC+ projects to field installations.  There are two methods.  Both methods install source code on the target system. Currently, using only object files for redistribution is not supported.

 

Method 1
This method uses the Project | Copy function in EPSON RC+ to create a floppy disk containing the project files.

 

On the development system:

  • Build and run the project to ensure there are no errors.
  • Select Project | Copy and select the destination drive, such as a floppy disk.

On the target system:

  • Start EPSON RC+.
  • Select Project | Open and open the project on the floppy disk.
  • Select Project | Save As to save the project on the hard disk.
  • Select Project | Build to build the project.
  • Close EPSON RC+.

Method 2
The method installs the required files onto the target system.

 

On the development system:

  • Build and run the project to ensure there are no errors.  In this example, the project is called myapp.
  • Create a new directory called \redist\myapp on the distribution media, such as floppy disk.
  • Copy all files from \epsonrc\projects\myapp to \redist\myapp.
  • In the \redist\myapp directory, open the file myapp.pmk with notepad.
  • Change the RebuildReqd property to True.
  • If you don't want to update point files, then delete all .PNT files in the \redist\myapp directory.

On the target system:

  • Copy all of the files from \redist\myapp to \epsonrc\projects\myapp.
  • If using the Operator Window, then when EPSON RC+ is started, the project will automatically be rebuilt.
  • If using VB Guide, ensure that you execute SPELCom.BuildProject during initialization.
