Trying to install the executable on a new desktop and the last time I managed to get this figured out was in 2014. Anybody have any tips? It's a DOS driven program with a windows GUI.?ÿ

As a foot note I get a lot of grief from our IT people over the legacy programs I've come to rely on. I'm like if it ain't broke, why fix it, while they are like, what's this MS-DOS stuff? This program isn't supported so you shouldn't be using it. My favorite so far from the head of our IT department, "Well if you can't get it to work we'll just buy you a new Trimble".?ÿ

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

TEQC is a command line program. Just put the executable in a folder in your PATH or add the folder to your PATH.

Using the command line, change directories to where your data is located.

To convert a Trimble DAT file to RINEX you would enter:

teqc -tr d +nav yourfile.23n yourfile.dat > yourfile.23o

I commonly use this along with?ÿ -week to convert from my old Trimble 5800

Dan, Do you use the windows GUI at all or run everything off the command line??ÿ

@williwaw I use the command line.?ÿ There was at one point a GUI program WinTEQC Editor that acted as a front end to the TEQC program. I'm comfortable using command line programs, so for me that was just easier.

I created a folder to hold the executables I use that don’t come with a Windows installer.  This includes teqc, NGS tools like HTDP, winteqc, various date fixing tools and rinex converters, etc.  RTKLIB has so many files I kept it in its own directory.  

I then added those two directories to the Windows PATH variable.   There are many sources on the internet about how to do this; below is one. You might need to close and reopen your command window, or log out of Windows and log back in again to get your new path.

Once the directory containing teqc is in your path, run it from a command line anywhere.

@toeknee system variable is a great option if IT lets you do system variable options with computers imaged and controlled by IT.  In the feds, impossible.

Command prompt is still and will continue to be in Wiindows 11 a part of the operating system, so telling the youngsters in your IT department that if its part of Windows 10, its still supported is worth a shot.  Also note that this program was last compiled in 2019.  So its realtively fresh.....

A simple trick to alleviate the CD .. command prompt navigation is to place the term cmd in front of the Windows explorer address bar.  Example:  cmd C:WindowsSystem64cmd.xxx and press enter. This negates the "browsing using command prompt.

I place my file for processing in the directory where the 64 bit folder resides.

Windows Key + E key

Navigate in Windows explorer to said folder  (easy to do).

in the address bar in Windows, put the term cmd followed by space in front of the path and press enter.

I run teqc using a Batch file. You can make a desktop shortcut icon for it so you just click it.
