QEDIT Version 4.5.02
Full-Screen Text Editor for the HP 3000
Installation
If you are a new Qedit user, please follow the installation
instructions in the Qedit User Manual. The following instructions
assume that you are an existing Qedit user who is upgrading to
version 4.5.02. If you need to install this upgrade in an account
other than the Robelle account, follow the installation
instructions in the appendix at the end of this change notice.
To install this upgrade of Qedit, follow these steps:
1. Install Qedit
2. Install the QLIB and/or Bonus programs
3. Fix the NM compilers (XL only)
4. Fix the MPE V compilers (both systems)
5. Install the WinHelp files (optional)
It should take about 30 minutes to complete all the steps; no one
can use Qedit during this time.
Installation Assistance
If you have any questions about the upgrade process or run into
any problems, please call us. Technical support is available on
weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pacific time. You can also
receive emergency support outside of these hours by calling our
regular phone number and asking the operator to page a support
person for you.
Replace Any Pre-Release
If you are currently running a pre-release version of Qedit, you
should replace it with this new official release. Pre-release
versions expire within two years of their creation date, whereas
this new release has no expiry date. You can easily recognize a
pre-release by its three-part version number (e.g., 4.3.52) and
the words "Pre-Release" next to the version number.
Important Note About Passwords
None of the jobs we supply have passwords in them. Before
streaming a job, you may have to add your system's passwords to
the first line. If you are a user of MPE XL version 3.0 or later,
you do not have to do this because the operating system prompts
you for missing passwords. The same is true for MPE V users who
have security software that inserts passwords. Most MPE V users
have to edit the jobs. For example, if the system manager logon
password is Qwerty, you would do the following:
:editor
HP32201A.07.22 EDIT/3000
/text robelle.pub.sys
FILE UNNUMBERED
/modify 1
MODIFY 1
!job robelle,manager.sys,pub;hipri
i/qwerty
!job robelle,manager.sys/qwerty,pub;hipri
/keep robtemp
/exit
END OF SUBSYSTEM
:stream robtemp
:purge robtemp
STREAMX Users
Users of STREAMX, a part of SECURITY/3000 from VESOFT Inc., must
set a Job Control Word before streaming jobs. This prevents
STREAMX from generating an error if the Robelle account does not
yet exist.
:setjcw streamxtempnonest 1
:stream robelle.pub.sys
Step 1: Install Qedit
This step requires three separate procedures: building (or
upgrading) the Robelle account by using the job stream that we
provide, restoring all the Robelle files from tape to disc, and
streaming the installation job. All of these procedures can
easily be accomplished if you log on as Manager.Sys.
Create/Update Robelle Account
You must build (or upgrade) the Robelle account with the job
stream that we provide. This job removes the passwords from the
Robelle account and from the user Mgr.Robelle. You need to know
the existing passwords so that you can put them back after the
installation.
:hello manager.sys {log on as system manager}
:listacct robelle;pass {look for PASSWORD: }
:listuser mgr.robelle;pass {look for PASSWORD: }
Once you have written down the passwords, stay logged on as
Manager.Sys and stream the job that builds and updates the Robelle
account.
:file rtape;dev=tape {mount Robelle tape}
:restore *rtape; robelle.pub.sys {= reply on the console}
:stream robelle.pub.sys
This job stream will send you a message when it has completed.
Stay logged on as Manager.Sys and put a password on the Robelle
account. If you are upgrading your Robelle account, use the old
password.
:altacct robelle;pass=hardpass {hard to guess}
Please note that during installation, we add OP capability to the
Robelle account. When the Qedit installation is complete, you
have the option to remove OP capability.
Restore Files
Stay logged on as Manager.Sys and restore the Robelle files:
:file rtape;dev=tape
:restore *rtape;@.@.robelle {= reply on console}
Check the :Restore listing for files that could not be restored.
If a file was "busy", then someone was using it or backing it up,
or it was held as a suspended son process (menu system), or it was
allocated. Chase away any users, deallocate any busy programs,
then try the :Restore again.
Filenames
The Qedit program files are restored to the Pubnew group of the
Robelle account. These are the names of the various files:
qeditnm NM Qedit program
qeditcm qeditpm CM Qedit programs
qcompxl NM compiler interface
qedify qcompusl CM compiler interface
qloadxl NM Qedit options
ederrnm ederrcm :Editerror support
qmap reformat MPE V PMAP
Install Program Files
Our installation job installs the proper Qedit files into the Pub
group of the Robelle account. No one can use these programs
during the installation. Warn people not to use Qedit for a
while, and then stream our installation job:
:hello mgr.robelle
:warn @;please exit from Qedit NOW!
:stream install.qeditjob {supply passwords}
Check the installation job $stdlist. If anyone was using Qedit or
attempting to back it up during the installation, the job will
fail. Chase away any users, ensure that a backup is not in
progress, then stream the installation job again.
The installation job renames your current versions of Qedit to the
PubOld group of the Robelle account. If you need to move these
versions back into production, use the Previous.QeditJob job
stream.
Now you can access Qedit by entering
:run Qedit.pub.robelle
Step 2: Install QLIB and Bonus Programs
Qedit comes with an array of contributed software in the QLIB
library (in the QLIB groups of the Robelle account). QLIB
programs may be used on any CPU and may be given away freely.
Your Robelle license may also entitle you to receive our Bonus
programs: Compare/iX, HowMessy, Select, Spell, and Xpedit.
These programs reside in the Pub group of the Robelle account.
Bonus programs can be used only on authorized machines, and you
may not distribute them to anyone.
If you received Bonus programs with this version of Qedit, use the
job stream called Bonus.Job.Robelle to install both the QLIB and
Bonus programs. If you did not receive Bonus programs, use the
job stream Qlib.Job.Robelle to install the QLIB programs. If you
skip this step, you may end up running old versions of these
programs.
:hello mgr.robelle
:stream bonus.job.robelle {or Qlib.Job.Robelle}
Building the Spell Dictionary
Before you can use the Spell Bonus program, you have to build its
main dictionary with an additional install job. This job stream
could take 30 to 60 minutes; there is no reason to wait for it to
finish before going on to the next step.
By default, the Spell program uses American spellings. To use
British spellings, set the SpellAmerican JCW to False in the
install job.
:run qedit.pub.robelle {or use :Editor}
/text dictmain.spjob
/modify "setjcw SpellAmerican" {for British spelling,
}
/keep robtemp { change True to False}
/exit
:stream robtemp
:purge robtemp
For more information, see the Spell User Manual.
Step 3: Install NM Compiler Interface
If you use any NM compilers on MPE/iX, you will want to install
the new NM compiler interface. If you still use the CM compilers
as well, you will also want to install that compiler interface
(described in step 4 below).
Installing the Interface
Assuming that you have restored the Robelle files onto your system
and that you have not done this step before, stream
Savecmdf.Qeditjob to make backup copies of the existing HP command
files in the Stdcmd.Sys group. You need to know the Manager.Sys
password.
:stream savecmdf.qeditjob.robelle {wait for it to finish}
:listf @.stdcmd.sys
Then stream Qcompxl.Qeditjob to make three changes to the Pub.Sys
compiler command files:
:stream qcompxl.qeditjob.robelle
1. Change the run of the compiler program to
;xl ="qcompxl.pubnew.robelle, qcompxl.pub.robelle",
2. Add ";shr" to the file commands for the text and master files.
3. Change "setjcw jcw=fatal" to an invalid command so that errors
in either Qedit or MPE/iX will abort the command file.
Compiling Instructions
Now you should be able to compile a Qedit file or a Keep file
either from within Qedit or at the MPE/iX prompt, just by invoking
the normal command file:
:pasxl source {from MPE}
:run qedit.pub.robelle
/pasxl source {from Qedit}
Within Qedit, you can specify "*" for the current workfile:
:run qedit.pub.robelle
/text source
/pasxl *
/exit
:pasxl qeditscr
Step 4: Install CM Compiler Interface
When installing Qedit on MPE/iX, you may have to install the NM
compiler interface (described earlier) and the CM compiler
interface (described here). For MPE V, however, you only have to
worry about the original "CM" compilers. After restoring the
files from tape, you have to choose an installation method:
integral or isolated.
Choosing a CM Installation Method
There are two methods of fixing the compilers on your system:
integral into Pub.Sys or isolated in the Robelle account. The
isolated method is best for new or trial-period users because it
can be installed quickly and it is easier to remove. You can
start with the isolated method and easily convert to the integral
method later.
Integral Method. The compilers in Pub.Sys are "fixed" directly,
and a segment is added to the system SL. The standard :Cobol and
:Pascal commands of MPE then compile Qedit workfiles. :Sysdump is
used to make a new cold load tape for the next time you must boot
the system.
Isolated Method. The MPE compilers are copied into the Q.Robelle
group, and the original compilers are left in the Pub.Sys group.
No code is added to the system SL. Qedit workfiles can be
compiled only from within Qedit because the "Qedit" compilers are
not in Pub.Sys.
Integrating CM Compiler Changes
The job stream Qeditj1.Qeditjob.Robelle makes integral compiler
fixes. Use it either to update the fixes to a new version or to
re-install the fixes after an MPE update from HP. Before you
start, you should :Store @.Pub.Sys and save it on tape, because
this job modifies the compiler program files in Pub.Sys. You will
need another small tape for a new cold load tape.
Ensure that no one compiles during the installation. Stop all
jobs and send an operator warning. Log on as Manager.Sys, modify
the first line of the Qeditj1 job to include the passwords, then
stream the job.
:stream qeditj1.qeditjob.robelle
This job runs Qedify.Pub.Robelle, which updates the compilers in
Pub.Sys and installs nonprivileged hooks into them so that the
compilers can access Qedit workfiles. The job adds a code segment
from Qcompusl.Pub.Robelle into Sl.Pub.Sys and then requests a tape
mount for a new cold load tape.
Mount a tape with a write ring and :Reply. Save this tape and use
it for future cold loads. The CM compiler interface is now
installed. Compiles done inside or outside Qedit will now work on
either Qedit workfiles or on regular Keep files.
Isolating CM Compiler Changes
The job stream Qeditj1a.Qeditjob.Robelle fixes the compilers, but
it isolates the changes in the Q.Robelle group. Ensure that no
one compiles during the installation. Stop all jobs and send an
operator warning. Modify the first line of Qeditj1a to include
the Robelle password, then stream the job:
:stream qeditj1a.qeditjob.robelle
The job uses Qedify.Pub.Robelle to copy the compilers from Pub.Sys
to the Q.Robelle group, then it "fixes" them so that they can read
Qedit files. The original compilers in the Pub.Sys group are not
modified. Once this step is completed, you can use the CM
compilers on Qedit files from within Qedit, but not at the MPE
prompt.
Step 5: Install WinHelp Documentation Files (optional)
The Qedit documentation for both MPE and HP-UX is now available in
the WinHelp format of Microsoft Windows. You can only use these
files if you have MS Windows 3.1 or later. To install the WinHelp
files on a PC, follow these instructions.
Make a Temporary Directory for the Setup Program
From either DOS or the File Manager, make a directory for the
installation files. You can remove this directory after
installing the WinHelp files.
mkdir \robtemp
Download the Compressed Files
In the next step, use Reflection to download the self-extracting
Zip file to your PC. This Zip file on the HP 3000 is called
Qedhelp.Whelp.Robelle. You should be logged on as Mgr.Robelle.
Press Alt-Y to go to the Reflection Command Line window. Make
sure you use the binary transfer.
receive c:\robtemp\qedhelp.exe
from qedhelp.whelp.robelle binary
Expand the Compressed Files
You only need the following commands to extract the files because
we provide the Setup program and Help files in one self-extracting
Zip file. From the DOS prompt, type these commands:
cd \robtemp {go to the new Robtemp directory}
qedhelp.exe {extract the Help files}
Run the Setup Program
From the Program Manager, run the Setup program by choosing Run
from the File menu, then type c:\robtemp\setup in the Command Line
box. Follow the instructions in the Setup program.
You can now access all the Qedit documentation by selecting any of
the icons in the "Robelle Help" Program Manager Group.
Remove the Robtemp Directory
Now you can remove all the files from the Robtemp directory.
Either delete them from the File Manager or use the following DOS
commands:
cd \robtemp
del *.* {delete all the files}
cd ..
rmdir robtemp {remove the Robtemp directory}
You can also copy the files in Robtemp to a diskette and
distribute them to other Qedit users.
