Install the Kit
Save
and unpack the ZIP files
You can unpack the files to whatever directory you choose. You will
link against the files in this location when you build the samples or
your own applications. Use of an ODS-5 volume is not required, but will
allow preservation of mixed-case file names. Free zip utilities for
OpenVMS include: GZIP,
INFO-ZIP, and
UNZIP.
Sample
files
Two command files, XAL_SAMPLES.COM
and XER_SAMPLES.COM,
are provided in the SRC
subdirectories of the Xalan and Xerces source trees, respectively.
Running these .COM
files will compile, link, and run all the sample applications. These
applications are provided by the Apache Software Foundation XML Project.
Documentation
files
All documentation is HTML, and is viewable from a PC
or OpenVMS browser. When unzipping the documentation archives, you
must preserve the directory structure of the archive to maintain internal
links and images. Extract the files to a documentation directory,
for example: [XMLTECH.DOCS].
Important: When
unzipping these archives, you must preserve the directory structure
of the archive to maintain internal links and images in HTML files.
Begin
viewing the documents by opening the Readme.html
file in the top-level directory of each archive.
