Retrieving the installation command files

We now retrieve the installation files as shown below.

Retrieving the installation files

VSCLIB? set default cern:[new.mgr]

VSCLIB? create/directory cern:[decw] ! If you want to link PAW with the old version
                                     ! of DECwindows
VSCLIB? set default cern:[decw]

VSCLIB? copy vxcern::cernvax:[decw]*.exe *

We now compile and link the program MAIN_CERNLOGIN.FOR and customise our LOGIN.COM.

Creating MAIN_CERNLOGIN.EXE

VSCLIB? fortran cern:[new.mgr]main_cernlogin

VSCLIB? link main_cernlogin

Before running this program, we must define the logical name CERN_ROOT. Note that CERN_ROOT should be defined consistantly with the CERN logical name. In a production environment, CERN_ROOT is typically the PRO subdirectory of the CERN tree. When installing, however, it is wise to point CERN_ROOT to the NEW area, as shown below.

Defining CERN_ROOT

VSCLIB? define/sys/exec/trans=(concealed,terminal) -
cern_root -
disk$user1:[jamie.cernlib.cern.new.]

Example LOGIN.COM for the CERNLIB account
