To use the system, make the following modifications to the CONFIG file.
The CONFIG file of each OS is as follows.
a) For WindowsNT4.0 CONFIG.NT
b) For Windows95 CONFIG.SYS
c) For DOS CONFIG.SYS
(1) When the system is used under WindowsNT4.0

[ The following example shows the case when WindowsNT4.0 is installed
in C:¥WINNT ]
Specify the “ANSI.SYS” in “CONFIG.NT” file. The “CONFIG.NT” file and “ANSI.SYS”
file are usually in the following folder. Check if these file are in the folder.
C:¥WINNT¥SYSTEM32¥
Add the following line to “CONFIG.NT” file by using a text editor.
devicehigh=%SystemRoot%¥system32¥ansi.sys
(2) When the system is used under Windows 95

[ The following example shows the case when Windows 95 is installed
in C:¥WINDOWS ]
DEVICE=C:¥WINDOWS¥ANSI.SYS
DEVICE=C:¥WINDOWS¥EMM386.EXE
When the system is used under Windows95, the Japanese input system is not specified
in the “CONFIG.SYS” file.
In DOS mode, only the DOS version Japanese input system can be used.
The DOS version Japanese input system can be installed by using the ADDDRV
command. For details of the installation method, see “DOSIME.BAT” under the
COMMAND director of Windows and “DOSIME.SYS” under the root directory of the
start-up disk.
(3)When the system is used under DOS

[ The following example shows the case when DOS is already installed in C:¥DOS ]

[ About device drivers ]
a)ANSI.SYS (required)
The display mode and attributes of the display unit are set. This setting cannot
be omitted.
b)EMM386.EXE
This device driver enables the use of expansion memory as EMS memory. When
using another EMS driver, refer to the relevant manual for details of setting
required in “CONFIG.SYS”.
c)MSIME.SYS / MSIMEK.SYS
This device driver enables the use of MS-KANJI API for Japanese-language input.
When using another Japanese language input system, refer to the relevant manual
for details of the setting required in “CONFIG.SYS”.
Notes
1. All of the above device drivers are provided as standard with WindowsNT4.0 /
Windows95 / MS-DOS. The specification of switches and parameters may be
required for the above settings. For details, refer to the on-line help or the
relevant manual for the WindowsNT4.0 / Windows95 / MS-DOS.
2. When using a memory card, refer to the manual provided with the memory
card for details of the setting required in CONFIG file.
3. Some device drivers may adversely affect the FAPT LADDER-II. If a problem
is anticipated, specify only “ANSI.SYS” in CONFIG file. Omit the specified,
FAPT LADDER-II will support only English, but allows any contention with
other device drivers to be identified quickly. Recognized conflicts are listed in

(2)Special password
(a)Partial protecting function
Partial protection of a ladder program can be done by dividing the
subprogram area into the protected area and the non-protected area by
using a special password.
Protected area : Inputting password is necessary to display
and edit a ladder program on CRT/MDI.
Non-protected area : To display and edit on CRT/MDI are
permitted without inputting password.
(b)Applied PMC models
This function can be used by following PMCs with step sequence function.
PMC-RB4(STEP)/RC4(STEP) /RB6(STEP)/RB6(STEP,IO-2)/NB2(STEP)
(c)Protected area / Non-protected area
The protected area and the non-protected area are decided according to
the subprogram number. Refer to the following for details.
Main-program LEVEL1 Protected

LEVEL2 Protected
LEVEL3 Protected
Subprogram P1∼P1499 Protected
P1500∼P2000 Non-Protected
(d)Setting of password
The password(R/W) which starts with "#" is to be set.
Example) #FANUC
For the operation to set the special password, refer to "(1) Password (b)Password
setting(compile)" because it is similar to a normal password.

①After the discompilation [EXEC] is selected, the following password entry screen appears.
Enter password(R)
Note) If an R/W password has been set up, “Password(R/W)” is displayed.
②When the valid password is entered, discompilation begins.

If the newly entered password is incorrect, an error message is displayed, and processing
discontinues.(You are allowed to retry entering twice.)
When <Esc> is pressed, the request to start discompilation is rejected.
(2)Special password
There are two ways of decompilations of an object file with a special
password as follows.
(a)Decompilation of all programs (Necessary a special password input)
The procedure of a decompilation is similar to that of an object protected
by a 'non-special' password. Refer to "(1)password".
(b)Decompilation of non-protected subprograms area only
(Not necessary a special password input)
In OFF-LINE FUNCTION, it is possible to edit only non-protected subprograms area,
(A printout is also possible. But it is impossible to convert to a mnemonic file because a
source program of a protected area is not created.)
Re-compilation after modifying of non-protected area is possible. But the password set
function is disabled. A special password in a decompiled object file is automatically
embedded and the protected area is re-protected.
