Running the installation command file

Once this command file has been extracted, installation of the package proceeds by typing

@INSTALL

and answering the questions. If VAXTAP is to be installed on a system without access to the HEPVM Tape Management System, as is likely to be the case when installing it outside CERN, answer NO to the first question. Answering A or ALL to the second question will cause the installation to complete without any further dialogue.

This procedure generates the executables, help files and command files that are required. An example session is shown below.

                      Installation of VAXTAP
                                  

VXCRNA? @install
You may install the VAXTAP utilities with or without the TMS option.
If you chose the TMS option, information such as the generic device
type, label type and checks on the volumes existance will be performed
by the TMS. At CERN, this option requires:
- Wollongong TCP/IP
- A SYSREQ interface
Please contact J. Shiers for more information
Use TMS flag       (Y/N/default=N) y

You should now do the following:
 1) Modify SETUP_STARTUP.COM to suit your system
 2) Add the help files to the required help library
 3) Copy the .EXE files to the directory SETUP_EXE
See the file VAXTAP.SGML for details.
