                    Cleanup Programs

If you are having problems with programs complaining about 
your Fryers Driver not being current, or not working right,
Try running the Clean16 program (available on the 
Frye Electronics web site at http://www.frye.com). 

The Clean16 program will go through your harddisk looking for 
old out of date versions of Fryers.com and replace them with 
the current version of the Fryers Driver. As a side effect, 
the driver will be centralized into the Root directory for 
the Fryers.com tsr. 

You can get a full installation version of the Clean16 program 
from the Frye web site at http://www.frye.com. Look for the 
"Download" section. If you have the CDROM version of these 
files, you can find the Clean16 program in the 
\RS232\CLEANUP directory folder.

If you are still having problems, and you are using a 32bit
Windows program that uses the Fryers Driver, it may be the 
Fryers32.dll that is the problem. This is easier to fix
because installation has tended to be more consistant
with the DLL. Copy the Fryers32.dll file found in the 
\RS232\FRYERS directory into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. 
On older systems you may find a copy of Fryers32.dll in the
\Windows (main) directory. If you see a copy there, delete it.
The correct (new) location is in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

Some Windows computers named their Windows directory by a 
different name than "Windows". If this is the case, some
programs may have failed to properly copy the Fryers32.dll
to the Windows\system\ directory and could be the source
of the problem. You will need to manually copy the 
Fryers32.dll file to the appropriate directory.

In some cases, the Fryers32.dll will be located in the 
same directory as the program that uses the DLL. If you are 
still having a problem with the program, try deleting the 
copy of Fryers32.dll from the program directory and 
insure that the latest copy of Fryers32.dll is in the 
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. 

Normally you do not need to reboot your computer after 
replacing the FRYERS32.DLL file. If the computer will not 
allow you to delete the Fryers32.dll file, make sure that 
any program that uses the file is closed and not running. 

Note: The Fryers drivers themselves are not normally 
changed. They are only transport mechanisms that do not 
care about the information they transport. Thus they do 
not require updating whenever a new instrument comes out 
or a new option is created for an existing instrument. 

What does change periodically are updates to the 
documentation which describes any new commands or 
changes to older commands that are transported by the 
Fryers drivers.

You can always download the current versions of FRYERS.COM
and FRYERS32.DLL and current documentation from the 
Frye web site at http://www.frye.com.
