Problem:

The classic tools were shipped as Addpack in NX 4.0

The classic tools were not shipped with NX 5.0

Resolution:

The Classic Tools AddPack  is attached to this document. These tools are not supported i.e. No corrections for defects are available.

Take the following steps to use the tools:

1) Unzip the attached ZIP in to a folder on your PC e.g. c:\\ClassicTools.

2) Copy the following files from \\NetExpress50\\Base\\BIN to c:\\ClassicTools.

   mflang01.lbr

   mflang05.lbr

   mflangdf.lbr

3) Rename the original files in \\NetExpress50\\Base\\BIN to *.old i.e. create a backup

   of them!

4) Run the INST.BAT file in the c:\\ClassicTools folder.

5) Copy all the files in c:\\ClassicTools to \\NetExpress50\\Base\\BIN.

Run the tools as follows:

* SCREENS by entering SCREENSW.EXE.

* MFFINDER by entering MFFINDER.EXE or MFFINDEW.EXE.

* SOURCE FILE COMPARE by entering DIFFWG.EXE.

This does not integrate the tools into the Net Express IDE.
