Hi Im new to this forum, and appreciate all the good info. I am working with an r40, and have built the circuit, downloaded the 2 programs, and have tested the interface and got the proper voltages. But when I open a command promp window and type r24rf08.exe mytp.bin, the response is:
"r24rf08.exe is not recognized as a internal or external command or an operable program"
What did I do/not do correctly?

Thanks

Patrick

Unless you created a path to the directory containing R24RF08.exe, or made the path part of the command line, you will first have to change to the directory containing R24RF08.exe to execute it. Not knowing exactly how R24RF08.exe behaves and, unless you're in Windows 98 or older, not working in a true DOS environment, I would strongly recommend getting into the directory where you saved R24RF08.exe before executing it.

Thanks for the reply. Arent Im supposed to be able to click on the r24rf08 icon in the folder also? I did that but it displays info about the file such as using switches, etc and then press *enter* to exit. This box comes up as in a command prompt box. This Icon is one of several, readme, tester, uninstallpatcher etc. The tester icon works ok thats how I know that the serial port and wiring are ok.
edit: Ihave also copied the path exactly as it is displayed (allservice\r24rf08\ etc in the command prompt but no go. I even looked at the directory in cmd promp and it is there.. it just keeps giving me the same message as before.

R24RF08 is a windows program, but operates in console.

Like Bill said, you either add the path too or change the prompt to the directory/folder where the program is located. If you add the path then you should add the path to the dump name too.

Example with path included:

Bob, you nailed it with that last reply. I didnt understand the string necessary to run in cmd prompt.. I typed in exactly what you showed for the default (thats where I saved the file) AND bOOM! It ran perfectly and ibm pass decoded the p/w. Thanks to all you guys for help with this, this is my first successful hacking job (and hopefully the last)
