4 Installation Procedure

4.1 Automatic Installation

None.

4.2 Non-Automatic Installation

Copy the file SOFTICE-A:DOM to user SYSTEM or any other user where you want to have it. Insert the floppy disk and type:

@ENTER-DIRECTORY,,F=0-1,0,,,
@COPY-FILE "SOFTICE-A:DOM" (211846:FL-US)SOFTICE-A:DOM
@RELEASE-DIRECTORY,211846

The floppy disk also contains the program as an old format domain. Use this if your SINTRAN III is too old to accept :DOM files. You can then install SOFTICE on SINTRAN versions older than K-500.

Optional online documentation is available on the floppy disk as a set of :HELP files. You probably do not need them. They can be read into NOTIS-WP. To install them, you create a UE user group called ND-PRODUCTS. Then make a NOTIS-DS user called ND-PRODUCTS. Create a drawer called HELP and a folder called SOFTICE-A01. Store down all the :HELP files in this folder. Assure that all users have read access. The :HELP files are displayed on typing the command names and pressing the HELP-key.
