Editing the distribution files

In each product folder on bluezone1, you find one or more distributions files. The distribution file is used to tell the Web-to-Host Control Module what files to download. For example, in the bz3270 folder there are at least two distribution files: display.e3d and printer.e3d. Use Notepad to edit these files as shown here:

Here is an example of the display.e3d file with the CAB file name shown in blue:

bzmd32C5.cab,1
mfdisp1.zmd,1
seaglapl.ttf,1
../seagull.saf,1

Edit the name of your CAB files as shown in red. The product version number is no longer used in the CAB file name. Add the corresponding printer cab (bzmp.cab) only if you use the printer emulator. Add the crt.cab, ssl.cab, and bzstring.dl_ to the end of the list as shown in red:

bzmd.cab,1
mfdisp1.zmd,1
seaglapl.ttf,1
../seagull.saf,1
../bzstring.dl_,1
../crt.cab,1
../ssl.cab,1

Note: If your current installation has been customized, your distribution files can look different from the example. Also, you can have additional distribution files. Make sure that you update all distribution files located in all the product folders with the new CAB file names.

If you want to take advantage of the new Windows Vista style toolbar icons, you must add the names of the icon image files to your distribution file as shown here in red.

bzmd.cab,1
mfdisp1.zmd,1
seaglapl.ttf,1
../seagull.saf,1
../bzstring.dl_,1
../crt.cab,1
../ssl.cab,1
../options/bzimg16.dl_,1
../options/bzimg24.dl_,1
../options/bzimg32.dl_,1
../options/bzimg48.dl_,1

Note: These files are optional. If keeping user download time to a minimum is critical, do not include these files in your download. BlueZone automatically reverts to the old 16x16 toolbar icons if these files are not present.
