2.0 Installation
===============================================================================
The file HostWord.CTL must be downloaded to the Opto 22 controller before
trying to utilize any of the HostWord commands.
The simplest way to do this is as follows:
1) (Optional) Copy HostWord.CTL to your OptoControl strategy subdirectory.
2) Run OptoControl and go to "Configure Mode".
3) From the "Configure" menu select "Controllers".
4) In the "Configure Controllers" dialog box that appears, select the
controller you want to work with and then click "Download Options".
5) In the "Download Options" dialog box for this controller, click the "Add"
button in the section "After Run File".
6) Now locate the HostWord.CTL file, select it, and click "OK".
7) Click "OK" in each of the remaining dialog boxes.
With this setting, the file HostWord.CTL will be downloaded to the selected
controller each time the strategy is downloaded.
3.0 File Version
===============================================================================
The HostWord command "H-Version" returns the version of the HostWord.CTL file
in the following form:
"R1.0g HostWords for OptoKernel/OptoControl. Copyright (c) 1996-2002 Opto 22"
To determine the version of the HostWord.CTL file, open the file in a text
editor and search for the string "H-Version".
