  MCA jar file (zipped) (113 KB) Recommended for advanced users for upgrade and other OSs

  MCA supporting other OSs could be constructed as described below:

  1. First download the appropriate version of SWT Run Time (zip file) from Eclipse.org download site (or from choosing "Supporting downloads (Java, SWT)" above and select the appropriate SWT download).
  2. After decompressing the zip file downloaded, put all the jar files (*.jar) and so files (*.so) into the same directory as MCA.jar.
  3. The command line syntax for MCA used on all Operating Systems (including Windows) is (let's assume java path is {java}, the folder containing MCA.jar is {app}):
     
     • To archive a folder with path denoted by {folder}:
       {java} -Djava.library.path="{app}" -classpath "{app}" -jar "{app}\MCA.jar" -a "{app}" "{folder}"
     • To open an MCA archive file denoted by {file}:
       {java} -Djava.library.path="{app}" -classpath "{app}" -jar "{app}\MCA.jar" -f "{app}" "{file}"
     • To archive a folder with path denoted by {folder} into the last used MCA file:
       {java} -Djava.library.path="{app}" -classpath "{app}" -jar "{app}\MCA.jar" -b "{app}" "{folder}"
     • To update a folder already archived in the last used MCA file (assuming folder path is denoted by {folder}):
       {java} -Djava.library.path="{app}" -classpath "{app}" -jar "{app}\MCA.jar" -c "{app}" "{folder}"
     • To set up automatic update of a folder/drive already archived in an MCA file using crontab or Windows scheduled tasks (assuming folder path is denoted by {folder}, MCA archive file is denoted by {file}):
       {java} -Djava.library.path="{app}" -classpath "{app}" -jar "{app}\MCA.jar" -d "{app}" "{folder}" "{file}"
  4. With the above steps you should be able to use MCA in a GUI (graphical user interface) environment successfully. Again, if your computer does not have java 1.4 or higher (most likely you already have it), then you would need to also choose "Supporting downloads (Java, SWT)" to install Java 1.4 Run Time Environment)
