Fall 1982 DECUS Distribution


The  following  steps must be performed to build the Fall 1982 release
of the LBL/Hughes Software Tools package for VMS. 

 1. Edit the file  stlognam.com  in  this  distribution  directory  to
    reflect  the  disk  and directories used by the tools.  All of the
    tools logical names start with the string "st_", in an attempt  to
    avoid  conflicts  with  all  other  software.   The definition for
    st_node should be replaced with your node  name,  and  st_timezone
    should   be   replaced   with   the  appropriate  three  character
    mnemonic.  Do not worry, the software which uses the logical  name
    worries  about  whether it is daylight-savings time or not, so you
    won't have to worry about changing the  logical  name  each  April
    and October. 
    
 2. Invoke the modified stlognam.com to set up the environment
    
 3. Create  the  six  known  directories (~bin, ~usr, ~tmp, ~lpr, ~msg
    and ~man) with the appropriate  protection,  and  set  default  to
    st_bin.   Consult  release.doc  for  information  on  the required
    protection modes for the directories. 
    
 4. Copy the Distn directory files into the current  directory,  after
    deleting  all  files  currently  in the directory.  Make sure that
    the account under which you are running has the following quotas:

         PRCLM          10
         BYTLM       30000
         FILLM          75
         TQELM          40
         PGFLQUOTA   16384

    
 5. @toolgen
    This command file assembles all  macro  primitives,  compiles  all
    fortran  primitives,  builds two tools to bootstrap ourselves, and
    then proceeds to build the 115 utilities  in  the  package.   This
    takes  a  while, so take a break.  If you answer yes to any of the
    questions concerning file deletion, toolgen will  delete  unneeded
    files  as  the  processing  progresses.   If you delete the object
    files, a savings of ~2000 disk blocks ensues.  If you  delete  the
    source  files  as you progress, a savings of ~3700 blocks accrues.
    The entire system occupies ~22000 blocks if no files are  deleted,
    or  ~16000  blocks  if both sources and objects are deleted during
    the build. 
    
 6. Now modify the system startup  files  to  setup  the  new  logical
    names and installed images for the next boot. 
    
 7. Install the known images using st_bin:tools.ins

 8. The  required  quotas  have  not  changed with this release, so no
    mucking with the authorization  file  will  be  necessary,  unless
    this  is  your  first tools release.  If this is the case, consult
    the file release.doc in the distn directory. 
    
 9. To build the  appropriate  mail  system  utilities,  you  need  to
    consult  the  file  msgreadme.1st  in the msgsys directory; follow
    the directions there. 
    
10. You should now be operational.
