FSL file association, press the file open icon to
the right of the FSL File field and select the
desired FSL file.
4.4 RUNNING VIEW AS A STAND-
ALONE PROGRAM
Depending upon your computer's hardware
specifications and operating system, you may
experience low memory errors when trying to
open large data files with View. It may be
necessary to close other applications when
running PC208W and View or to run View
independently of PC208W.
View can be run as a stand-alone program by
double-clicking the View.exe file in the
PC208W\Bin directory. This should allow you to
open larger data files without memory errors.
4.5 ASSIGNING DATA FILES TO VIEW
Windows will let you assign the program with
which a particular file type will be opened based
on that file's extension. When a file with an
assigned extension is double-clicked, it will be
opened with the associated program. You may
want to associate *.DAT files with the View
program for quick opening of data files.
In Windows 95/NT this association can be
made by selecting View | Options | File Types
from the Explorer menu. In Windows 3.1, this
association can be made by File | Associate
from the File Manager menu.
NOTE: Only one association can be made
for each file type. If the *.DAT file is
assigned to another program, you must
remove this association before the new
association can be made.
