Apollo Installation

No installation procedure is necessary for GKSGRAL or GKSGRAL-3D on APOLLO nodes connected to the standard DOMAIN network at CERN. For nodes on other DOMAINs the procedure is to obtain a cassette from the Program Library Office which contains the following trees written with wbak:

/cern/gks/pro
/cern/gks/new
/cern/gks/distribution

They can be restored with the command:

rbak -dev ct -f 1 -int -ld -all -as /cern/gks/pro
rbak -dev ct -f 2 -int -ld -all -as /cern/gks/new
rbak -dev ct -f 3 -int -ld -all -as /user/gts-root

For those institutes that wish to use the GKS libraries without change, it should be sufficient simply to restore either /cern/gks/pro or /cern/gks/new/. For those institutes which want to add drivers, or get access to the machine readable documentation, etc., it will be necessary to restore /cern/gks/distribution. This is equivalent to the root /user/gts-root referred to in the section on Page gif, and so should preferably be restored with '-as&nbsp/user/gts-root'.
