APPENDIX DOPTEDIT
Overview
OPTEDIT is a menu-driven program used to edit the full configuration of
the AGILE 5250 OPTIMA. It serves as an alternative to editing the
configuration from the OPTIMA front panel. OPTEDIT operates on IBM
PC, PS/2 and compatible computers with MS/PC-DOS version 3.3 or later.
System requirements are 640K RAM and one 3.5 inch, 1.44MB high-
density floppy disk drive.
OPTEDIT allows the user to perform the following functions:
Edit the basic configuration information for the OPTIMA, including
twinax, parallel and serial port information.
Edit translation tables, programmable function strings and font
correspondence tables in ASCII, EBCDIC and hexadecimal modes.
Apply character translation to programmable function strings and
font correspondence tables using editable translation tables.
Edit output port configuration information for compatibility with
special applications, such as barcode printers, plotters, etc.
Edit character translation tables for custom character sets, including
the ability to reverse translation tables to change the direction of
character translation.

Installing OPTEDIT

The OPTEDIT program is included on the diskette provided with the 5250
OPTIMA.
No special installation of the program is required; however, if the program
is used frequently, the user may want to copy it to a hard drive. It is
recommended that hard drive users also copy their output port (i.e.,
printer) configuration files and the OPTIMA configuration file
(_OPTCNFG._), including archival files saved under different names, to
the same directory as OPTEDIT.
Before using OPTEDIT, the user should complete the OPTIMA basic
setup and make all of the required connections of the users equipment.
