Jack et al This product allows you do to a full backup. It won't do individual backups, but does a full backup each time and detect changes and maintain a tree structure of of your model programs.
It won't do a full restore yet, but will allow you to restore individual model programs from the database. In due course, you will be able to restore your 4000 to a full back that was made in the past (MPM stores a backup history). You are able to change the user name and lock code with a licensed version, together with exporting and importing CIF files that the Multiplex DOS tool uses. This gives you the basic backup that is essential if you value your programs. Future updates will include a listing feature and restore as mentioned above without need to change a license. The DOS tool offers simulation which MPM won't. Instead, full on screen editing showing signal flow will come as a licensable version which will offer more than the simulation. This will allow you to see what you program is doing and there will be a way to drive your servos (still thinking about the best way to do this). So, yes, it doesn't offer the simulation functions the DOS tool does, but it offers backup to keep your data safe, it offers program management and version control, it offers name and lock code change and will offer full historical restoration in due course. I hope this helps you see MPM in a new light, and it does tell me I need to make additions to the web pages which I was aware of, but many people want to backup thier data. -- Veronica Merryfield, somewhere in Cambridgeshire, UK "Constructive laziness is the root of all good engineering" "The best things in life aren't things" Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly. - St. Francis De Sales www.dunrunnin.co.uk www.greyhoundgap.com www.yadvashem.org.il - Everyone should visit ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Veronica Merryfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "RCSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 1:43 PM Subject: Re: [RCSE] MPM for Multiplex 4000 > This is really good news, However, from what I can see this does not have the same basic functionality, as the crapy MPX DOS version. > I want to thank you for your efforts on this project, However, when you get a reasonably full package together, I will happily pay the 40 bucks that you are asking. > Thanks > Jack > > -- > Jack Strother > LSF President LSF 2948 > Granger, IN Level IV > > All > > > > For those of you that use a Mulitplex 4000, MPM is a windows based backup > > and program management product.
