I found way too many cases where this didn't work right- including with VEERUN, so I always do the compile myself

as with most command-line programs there's a brief help available:

idc -? will give you the syntax.

idc [-o output_directory] id_file

All,

I've tried this, but there's only .id files.

I am looking specifically for the hp436.cid driver

Thanks,
Bill

I have the hp437b.cid file on my PC, but not the 436. Wasn't there some utility to compile the .id files into a .cid?

Yes, there's a utility--don't know where to find it. The kicker is, a colleague downloaded the 436.cid from Agilent's site a few weeks ago, so there must be a collection of them somewhere.

Did something change in VEE? Previously it automatically did the conversion from .id to .cid and left the .cid on your hard drive. Try the .id and see what happens.

Well, if your trying to run a .vxe that is of little help. But, I wrote a dummy program to use the .id driver and VEE did make the.cid for me.

Thanks, problem solved.

The ID compiler is still stay in VEE directory. You may see the idc.exe which is a DOS utility. You may execute it in DOS shell. Once you get id file, you can use it to convert to cid file.

Compile it yourself-- idc.exe in your VEE install directory is the compiler.

Well, I let VEE do the compile for me. It does that when you specify a .id instead of a .cid.

As for the compiler itself, when I start it a dos window opens then closes immediately. It doesn't prompt for the filename?
