1. Installing Dr.Scheme

In order to use IPC translator, which translates IPCs into a Q scenario, it is necessary to install "MzScheme." Please download "plt-103p1.exe" to install "DrScheme" (including "MzScheme") version 103p1 from Dr.Scheme Download page.

2. Using IPC

To use IPCs, please follow the procedure below.

1. Double-click "runIPC.bat" below "/ipcpackage-e" directory.
   

   Caution:When the home directory of "Dr.Scheme" has been changed from the default direc-tory ("C:\Program Files\PLT"), it might not start when "runIPC.bat" is double-clicked. In this case, please open "runIPC.bat" using the note pad and change the path accordingly.

2. Select IPC macro file from the dialogue box for file selection. IPC macro for web navigator scenario is "ipc-webnavigator.ipc."
   
   
   
   
3. Select CSV file, which is translated by IPC translator, from the dialogue box for file selection.
   
   
   
   
4. Save the Q file generated by IPC translator.
   
   
   

3. Revising IPC cards
