Installer
HQMulDev device families may be installed through the Install Output Plugin menu item in the
ScriptWorks installer. See the Installation Guide for details of normal use of that option.
The installer will take care of installing all of the necessary files for your supported devices. In the
event that you should need to install these manually the following information details the
necessary files and their locations. Please note that all of the listed files for each platform and
HQMulDev family are necessary and they are specific to each.
The installer supplied with ScriptWorks version 4.0, revision 2 for Windows 3.1 and 95 will also
adjust configuration files as appropriate, and install devices which may be configured through
the Drivers control panel applet under Windows 3.1. The IRQ, port address etc. for any installed
interface cards must be adjusted through those applets before the plugin may be used.
These details must be adjusted by manually editing SYSTEM.INI for Windows 95.
The installer for machines running Windows NT will place the .SYS files for the plugin in a
directory called NTDRVRS in the directory where the RIP application itself is installed. These files
must be manually copied as detailed below, and the registry must be manually updated to reflect
the configuration of installed interface cards.
Although all the appropriate HQMulDev plugins that you will receive from Harlequin will
normally be delivered on a single floppy disk, the installer has been written in such a way that it
is easy to create a floppy disk containing a single family, or any other subset of the plugins that
you have. Each family requires two files on the floppy disk:
HQ
<name>
.lzh An archive of the plugin files themselves.
HQ
<name>
.pst A control file which determines which files should be copied where
when the plugin is installed.
Access control files
Each family plugin includes two access control files. One of these, named HQ
<name>
.CTL lists
the device types within that family which are covered by your OEM contract with Harlequin. The
second, named simply
<name>
.CTL, is designed to be editable by you as an OEM in order to be
able to sell specific device types or groups of device types to your end-users as you require. The
list of device types presented in the pop-up menu in the RIP’s Device Manager dialog will
include all those devices which are included in both lists. Please contact the ScriptWorks support
group or your Account Manager for utilities for editing the second-level control file if you wish
to take advantage of this facility.
Basic Installable Components
A specific combination of the drivers and subsidiary files will be necessary depending upon the
platform upon which you are running, the plugin family and the interface card to be used. Please
use the chart below to ensure that all the necessary files for your platform are installed in the
correct locations, failure to do so may result in a non functional system.
