Transfering Zeus Configuration.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed May 11, 2005 8:56 pm

I am retiring an old computer and breaking in a new one. I would like to run zeus on the new computer with all the configuration changes that I made on the old computer. How do I transfer the configuration.

All you need todo is run the install on the new computer to setup the registry settings and then copy over the zConfig folder.

If you have written or modified any of the Zeus macros then also copy over the the zScript folder.

Jussi,
Okay, I tried that, but when I look at Options -> Document Types... I do not have all the document types. In particular, I created a VHDL type and it does not show up. Is there anything else that I need to do?
Thanks in advance,
Doug

If you go to the new installation and re-create an empty VHDL document type (ie entery nothing more than the file extensions section), you should notice a set of VHDL document type files created in the zConfig directory. Next just copy over your old VHDL files to replace these empty files.

But make sure the first file extension entered is consistent with the original files, as this file extension is used to name the configuration file.

The file pattern used for the document type files is ZeusXXX-YYYYYY.ext when the YYY is the first file extension and the YYYYYYY is the document type section.
