File Alias tab

On this window, aliases for application files that are hard-coded in the 997 map (the file names are written to the .map file when the map is generated), allowing you to change the files dynamically at runtime. (This is the -af switch explained in ECRTP Reference Guide. There is also a -du switch that lets you specify a substitute for the directory in which the application files are located. These switches allow you to adapt your maps between machines and to different platforms.)

StepsAdding a file alias

  1. Select Add to search for a file.

    The Open window displays.

  2. When you find the map file that you want to replace at runtime, double-click it and the file is automatically entered under Files inside Map.

  3. Select the right arrow

    The Open window displays.

  4. When you find the substitute file that you want to use at runtime, double-click it and the file is automatically entered under Files during Run Time.

You have now created an alias for the original application file. When the program encounters the original application file, it uses the new alias application file in place of the original file.
