Loading and Executing Adept Utility Programs

NOTE: The information in this section is intended to provide an overview of the procedure. The exact steps for your system may vary, based on the V+ version, the system components, and the type of media you are reading from or writing to. The V+ utilities contain precise instructions that will guide you through the steps for your system. Therefore, you are encouraged to carefully read and follow the on-screen instructions.

The following procedures explain loading and executing Adept Utility Programs. Different utilities can be executed by changing UTILITY NAME to the utility desired.
Save to disk any program changes you have made.
Clear system memory by typing:
zero 
Load the utility program:
load \util\UTILITY NAME 
NOTE: Use the correct drive and path specification if the file is stored on another drive or subdirectory.
Execute the program:
execute a.UTILITY NAME 
To execute the program as task #1, you can use:
execute 1 a.UTILITY NAME 
Select the option you want from the menu.

Follow the prompts provided by the program.

NOTE: If a floppy diskette is modified, the small write-protect slider on the back of the diskette must be in the unprotected position. That is, it must be in the position that closes the hole through the diskette jacket. Make sure you move the slider back to the protected position after the operation is completed.

Do not alter the original V+ CD-ROM supplied by Adept. Instead, make a copy of the CD-ROM contents (with this program during the process of installation, or with the DISKCOPY utility), and then modify the configuration information on the copy.
Delete the configuration program from the system memory by typing:
kill
delete a.UTILITY NAME 
NOTE: Use "kill 1" in place of "kill" if the program was executed as task #1.
