Installation
These notes assume that you are an existing Qedit user who wishes
to upgrade to version 4.4. If you are a new Qedit user, please
follow the installation instructions in the user manual.
It should take about half an hour to complete all 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. As well, you can
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 tell a pre-release
by a three-part version number (e.g., 4.2.52) and the words
"Pre-Release" next to the version number.
Summary of Installation Steps
There are four steps for installing Qedit:
1. You must log on as root.
2. You must create the correct directory structure.
3. You must restore Qedit/UX and its associated files from the
distribution tape.
4. You can optionally set up a path for Qedit/UX or copy it to an
existing directory in your path.
5. You can install WinHelp documentation files (optional).
Step 1: Log On as Root
You may log on as root in either of two ways:
a. Exit from HP-UX and log on with root as the user name.
b. If you are already logged on, you can execute this command:
su -
In either case, you will have to know and supply the user password
for root.
Step 2: Create Robelle Directory
Qedit/UX is installed in /usr/robelle. Before restoring the
files, you must first create /usr/robelle:
mkdir /usr/robelle
Step 3: Restore Files
Use the following command to restore the Qedit/UX files from the
distribution tape:
tar xv /usr/robelle
After successfully restoring the files, you can run the new
version of Qedit/UX:
/usr/robelle/bin/qedit
Step 4: Setup Path (optional)
You can invoke Qedit with the following command:
/usr/robelle/bin/qedit
If you want to be able to just type
qedit
to invoke Qedit/UX, you must either add /usr/robelle/bin to your
PATH or copy /usr/robelle/bin/qedit to a directory that is
currently on your PATH. Similarly, the man pages for Qedit are
found in /usr/robelle/man/man1/qedit.1. To make the man pages
available to everyone, you can either add /usr/robelle/man to your
MANPATH or you can copy the man pages to a directory that is
currently on your MANPATH.
Step 5: Install WinHelp Documentation Files (optional)
The Qedit for HP-UX and Qedit for MPE documentation is now
available in Microsoft Windows WinHelp format. To install these
files onto a PC, do the following. To use WinHelp with our Help
files, your PC must have MS Windows 3.1 or a later version.
Make a Temporary Directory for the Setup Program
From DOS or File Manager make a directory to copy the installation
files (you can remove this directory after installing the WinHelp
files):
mkdir \robtemp
Download Compressed File
The next step is to download the self-extracting Zip file to your
PC. Instructions for downloading this file using Reflection are
outlined for you. The file on the HP 9000 is called:
/usr/robelle/winhelp/qedhelp.exe
You should be in the /usr/robelle/winhelp directory.
Press Alt-Y to go to the Reflection command line window (you must
use binary transfer):
receive c:\robtemp\qedhelp.exe
from qedhelp.exe binary
Expand the Compressed Files
Since we provide the Setup program and Help files in one
self-extracting Zip file, you only need the following commands to
extract the files. From the DOS prompt type the following
commands:
cd \robtemp {go to where we downloaded the file}
qedhelp.exe {extract the Help files}
Run the Setup Program
From within Program Manager, run the Setup program by choosing Run
from the File menu, then enter c:\robtemp\setup in the Command
Line box. Follow the instructions as provided by the setup
program.
You are now able to access all of the Qedit documentation by
selecting any of the icons in the "Robelle Help" Program Manager
Group.
Remove the Robtemp Directory
You can now remove all of the files from the Robtemp directory
either from the File Manager or by using the following DOS
commands:
cd \robtemp
del *.*
cd ..
rmdir robtemp
You could also copy the files in robtemp to a diskette and
distribute to other Qedit users.
