QUAD 4C autoprogram database file edit add user define device | 25 February, 2017

Hello All, Hoping for some input to guide me in successfully editing the FDRSIZES.asc FDRSIZES.dbf and FDRSIZES.idx

I have attempted to add a slightly modified 8mm feeder definition to these above listed files but am not having any luck getting autoprogram to use the updated database.

Has anyone had success with this?

You probably have database issues. The underlying format that was used on the Quad series is the old DBase from DOS days you could try running a tool like DB Viewer,DBF Doctor over your updated file to see that the format is still correct. Compare the results with your pre-edited copy and look for any clues. There is a definition of the format on Wikipedia
