Opening PPCS files in SIMPOL

[Dan Jinks]

I have a PPCS server (SBL version) set up and tested. The files can be accessed using the INETtest.sbp sample program. Now I would like to open one of the PPCS files in SIMPOL. I found a program (PPCSTestXML.sma) in the SamplesTests folder that seems to be what I need, as a starting point. However I cannot build or execute it. I need to create a project for it first, right? I did not find one in the Projects folder. I was able to open the PPCS files using Simpol Personal from a second machine, so just need to test reading them from a PPCS client program in SIMPOL.

There is a sample called PPCSSelectKey in the console directory that is
provided as a project. Also, in the projectsssp directory there are
numerous projects that work with PPCS. The code in the sbiscontact
project may be useful to examine.

Neil, thanks for your rapid response. I now have Inettest.sbp also
working from inside a virtual machine on another PC from the server.
(Main problem was setting the network adapter in the Virtual PC to
bridge rather than the default NAT.

Now on to the Simpol client test….
