QEDIT/UX Version 4.5.01
Full-Screen Text Editor for HP-UX
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 4.5.01.
To install this upgrade of Qedit/UX, follow these steps:
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).
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 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.
Step 1: Log On as Root
You can 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 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 the Robelle directory (/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: Set Up Path (optional)
You can invoke Qedit with the following command:
/usr/robelle/bin/qedit
If you 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 documentation for both MPE and HP-UX is now available in
the MS-Windows WinHelp format. 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.
