Now you can download a copy of CapFast for evaluation through the end of March (Solaris and HP/UX versions only). Here's how:
1. Download the software from our ftp server:
Solaris

ftp.phase3.com/pub/phase3/solaris/CF-EPICS.tar.Z
(Note: requires

EDIF
Netlister: ~p3/wcs/bin/sch2edif
Documentation is available in Microsoft Word 6.0 format at ftp://ftp.phase3.com/pub/phase3/cf_man. Release notes for this version are available at ftp://ftp.phase3.com/pub/phase3/rel_note_3_10_1.txt.
If you want to use CapFast for EPICS development, you will need additional programs (e2sr and sr2db, I believe), the EPICS symbol library for CapFast, and the EPICS menus for CapFast. For more information, please contact an EPICS member who uses CapFast. Also, a tutorial of how to use CapFast as a graphical EPICS database configuration tool is available at http://www.atdiv.lanl.gov/aot8/epics/dbase/capfast/cpfst.htm
If you have any problems or questions regarding installation or use of CapFast, please contact our technical support team at support@phase3.com or 503-645-1551.
