Page 5-66 User’s Manual
A resource file may contain the XLI code, the XLI boot kernel (used by
XTRAEDIT to configure the unit), fonts, configurations, default
configuration and the non-shrink fonts list. The software distributed with
the XLI contains all of the above except the non-shrink fonts list.
Firmware upgrades will contain all resources necessary.
Command Line Interface
The user may display the contents and the description of each resource
file by using the DOS command TYPE.
A resource file can be loaded outside of XTRAEDIT by using the
command line interface. XTRAEDIT /R=filename will load a resource
file. All resources with the same name will be overwritten. If no filename
is specified, a resource file named RESOURCE.AGL will be loaded.
LPT[1|2|3] may also be entered on the command line in order to avoid
being asked the port number to which the XLI is attached.
The parameter /Z will throw away all resources in the XLI and then load
in the new set. Make sure the resource file has all necessary components
before using the /Z parameter.
Save Resources to File
If the user has several XLi units that are to be configured identically, it
may be far easier to configure one XLi, save the configuration to a
resource file on the XTRAEDIT diskette, and then load the resource file
from that diskette to the other units, rather than to configure each XLI
individually.
The user may select which resources are saved in the resources file. This
enables the user to save only those resources that will be shared by other
users, or whatever other reason the user may have for saving only some
of the XLI resources.
The user may enter a description for each resource file saved. When
loading the resources, the comment entered will be displayed (only the
first twenty-characters) in case the user has saved different
configurations.
Pack XLI Memory
When resources (fonts or configurations) have been deleted from the XLI,
gaps are left in the XLis flash memory. These gaps can be filled only by
resources that are smaller than the space left by the deleted resource. To
create a unified, contiguous free space for the installation of more
