PC-DMIS/DMIS/Quindos6 Conversions

bbollinger
Hello everyone and Steve,

We have Quindos6 at PFC with DMIS Interpreter among other add-ins. I already know that I can export a PC-DMIS program as a DMIS program and use it after turning on the interpreter with DMISON in the command buffer and LOAFIL to bring it in. I want to know if the reverse is possible? Can a Quindos6 program be exported or converted to DMIS and then imported into PC-DMIS?

  • With regards to the original question, the answer is 'no', Quindos programs can not be exported into DMIS for use in PC-DMIS.

    To correct a statement above.... Quindos6 programs are NOT text files.

    For editing purposes they are.
    For use in quindos 6 programs they have different file extension but they are still basically ascii text files.
    Though quindos 6 requires a unix emulator to run in a windows environment, if you have quindos 6 running on a unix workstation the normal unix editing protocols still apply.
    In that, its like Brown & Sharpe's MMIV.
    They do not require compilation or any type of modification other than the file extension when running in windows.
    If you felt the need, you could (but I wouldn't want to try it!) type out a program in wordpad and it would run in quindos 6.
    I admit the term "text file" is simplistic but the file structure in quindos (its database driven) is the issue with exporting a program and not the file type.
