Technical Support Notes

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

On the target system:
1. Start EPSON RC+.
2. Select Project | Open and open the project on the floppy disk.
3. Select Project | Save As to save the project on the hard disk.
4. Select Project | Build to build the project.
5. Close EPSON RC+.

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

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

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