Programmable Terminal Topic: Edit Screen Data that was Created with DOS version NT Support Software by using Windows version

FAQ No. FAQ00194

Question

Can I use the Windows version of the NT Support Software to correct screen data that was originally created with the DOS version of the NT Support Software?

Answer

It depends on direct access versions of screen data created with a MS DOS Version NT Support Tool. When using the latest direct access version (Direct Access Ver.5 for the Programmable Terminal "NT20S"), the screen data can be read and then modified by executing "File" > "Import of MS DOS Version data" in the Windows Version NT Support Tool.

When an old direct access version is used, the direct access version should be updated by using the DOS Version NT Support Tool.
