- The run-time portions of the software require registration. Registration
can only be carried out by e-mail. Registration will allow the software
to be used with a limited number of items being read from and written

Version/Build Information
The downloads all correspond to build id 091217. If you have already installed
the software, you should upgrade to the latest version. The build id
of the software can be found in the PACESOFT.INI file. Look in the
[Installation] section, and the build id will appear in the SourceCD=
line.
Updates are generally carried out via a service pack. Please check this
site periodically for any service packs or other updates.
Downloads
Each file is an EXE file. It is recommended that the files be downloaded and
saved. Common sense security recommends that all downloaded files be scanned for
viruses before use. (Author's note: I always do it!)
While each of the EXE files will run in isolation, the best way of installing the
software is to download all the parts you want, and then run GRX_DEV. This will
run any other install files that are in the same folder. Click here
to get help in deciding what files you should download.
| GRX_TUT |
Tutorials.
This contains the help files and Flash animations for the tutorials.
You can download and study the tutorials before installing anything else. |
| GRX_DEV |
This must be installed before any other components (except the tutorial). This gives you the
basic development software. |
The following components are optional, but we recommend that the
image libraries are installed:-
| GRX_CFG |
Configuration schema.
This allows you to change the appearance of
the development software. Usefull when a high contrast schema
is required for editting. |
| GRX_ELT |
Function block editor support libraries.
The edittor will work without this, but some editting functions will not be available.
The function block edittor is used when creating your own function blocks. As there
are over twelve thousand function blocks installed, you probably will be able
to skip this one. |
| GRX_INS |
Application Installer Wizard files.
This is only required if you wish to distribute an
application's run-time files as a self-installing EXE file. Such
an application still requires registration. |
| GRX_IML |
Main image library. Contains lots of bitmaps. |
| BUT_SC1 |
Button Generator Standard Colours.
The standard (named) colours
such as SLATE GREY are defined in this library as
shading for the text used within buttons. |
| DRW_INF |
Drawing Library (Infills).
This library extends the variable
level infills already provided by GRX. A variety of borders can be chosen,
and a scale line can be added. |
| DRW_HST |
Drawing Library (Histograms).
This uses variable level fills
to create simple bar graphs and trends. |
| DRW_GRD |
Drawing Library (Data Grids).
This library provides some
simple grids to display numeric and text data, and also to edit the data
using either a pop-up box or keypad. |
| DRW_FAN |
Drawing Library (Fans).
This library extends the fan animations
available. |
| DRW_INF |
Drawing Library (Infills).
This library extends the variable
infills that are available. |
| DRW_TIM |
Drawing Library (Time Edit Panels).
This library provides pop-up panels to edit times and durations. The
library includes code to actually implement the timers. |
| RST_WIZ |
While you are modifing a GRX application, backup copies
of drawings, evaluation code etc. are created. If you need to
restore a file after a botched edit, this wizard may help. |
| IDE_FWZ |
Font Wizard.
This wizard copes with the problem of
moving an application between platforms when some of the
fonts used in the orignal application are not available. |
| IDE_CCHK |
Code Checker.
This wizard scans your code and identifies
some poor programming and also offers suggestions for
function blocks that could be used. |
| IDE_DRW1 |
Drawing Positioning Wizard.
This wizard helps you to arrange the
drawings that make up a GRX project. It can also help when moving applications
between systems. |
| IDE_CWZ |
Colour Wizard.
This wizard helps when systematic colour changes
have to be made. |
| MRG_WIZ |
Merge Wizard.
This wizard helps when two drawings have to be
combined. |
If you are new to GRX, the following will be usefull:-
| GRX_SAM |

Includes the complete project tutorial source code. |
