Installation

Introduction

This is a brief guide to installing the FuzzyCOPE 3 environment. I will assume throughout that the user is installing the complete system, i.e. that they have downloaded the entire system in one archive. I will also assume that the user is installing the system to the directory C:\FuzzyCOPE3 If you are installing to a different directory you will need to take this into account.

Downloading and Unzipping

After downloading the file FuzzyCOPE3.zip, create the directory C:\FuzzyCOPE3 and the archive into it. The archive should be unzipped so that the original directory structure is preserved. The directory tree should look as follows:

C:\FUZZYCOPE3

Files

The purpose of each of the top level directories is as follows:

bin: this directory contains the executables and DLLs for the system. This directory should be added to your system PATH.
docs: this directory contains the HTML and Postscript format documentation for the system, including documentation for the API libraries and the Frigate command language.
The entry point for the documentation tree is the file Documentation.htm
egs: this directory contains numerous examples of data files and neural network files.
libs: this directory contains the API libraries.

The main executable is the file FuzzyCOPE3.exe in the bin directory. This is the Graphical User Interface to the system. The other executables are command line tools that are explained in the documentation. The two DLLs, cw3220.dll and FC3.dll are the Borland runtime and FuzzyCOPE 3 engine respectively. The runtime is required by all of the executables, but the engine DLL is only needed for using the GUI and API libraries.
