METRESRC Scenario 1

Assume you want to identify the Xerox resource files used by a Metacode print stream, perhaps because you plan to convert the Metacode print stream into a FAP file.

For this example, assume you have an INI file named FSISYS.INI that contains a Xerox printer control group (PrtType:XER) with the necessary entries to read a Metacode print stream named example1.met. To produce a list of the Xerox resources used in example1.met, you would enter this command:

METRESRC /I=Example1.met /L=list.txt /INI=FSISYS.INI /P=XER

Note In this example, you could omit the /INI and /P parameters since you are using the default INI file and default Xerox printer control group the utility expects.

This command produces a text file called list.txt that contains a list of the Xerox resources files used by the Metacode print stream, Example1.met.

The lines of the listing file are in this comma-delimited format:

FILENAME,XER,TYPE

Element

Description

FILENAME

The name of the resource file

XER

Indicates that the file is a Xerox resource

TYPE

Indicates the Xerox resource type, such as FNT, IMG, FRM, or LGO

The listing file might look something like this:

QARRD,XER,IMG

QARRD2,XER,IMG

QARRR,XER,IMG

QARRU2,XER,IMG

QJANED,XER,IMG

QJOHND,XER,IMG

FXCOB0,XER,FNT

FXCOB6,XER,FNT

FXTIN6,XER,FNT

FXTIN8,XER,FNT

FXUNN0,XER,FNT

FXUNN4,XER,FNT

FXUNN6,XER,FNT

FXUNN8,XER,FNT

FXUNNN,XER,FNT

The first few entries are the names of Xerox IMG resource files (QARRD.IMG, QARRD2.IMG, and so on). The latter entries are the names of Xerox FNT resource files (FXCOB0.FNT, FXCOB6.FNT, and so on).

The listing file is in the same format as that used by the MRGADD utility, which can be used to create a font cross-reference (FXR) file.
