You may either install RPG/free from diskette, or copy it from NEWSLINK or
another bulletin board.
1.0 INSTALLING RPG/free FROM DISKETTE
NOTE: To install RPG/free, you must be signed on as a security officer if
password security is active.
To install RPG/free, place the software diskette in slot S1 of your diskette
drive and key the command:
JOBSTR FREELOAD,FREELOAD
If you have password security active, whenever you receive the message:
SYS-2594 Options (0123 )
xxxxxxxx --Trying to copy privileged module...
You must take option "0" to continue.
The software will be copied into a library called RPGFREE, and the following
run-time procedures will be copied into #LIBRARY:
FREEDROP FREEINFO FREEP FREESAVE
RPGFREE RPGPRTY
If you use POP, the following procedures will be copied into #POPLIB:
LIBRC LIBRT
NOTE: your current version of LIBRC and LIBRT (if existent) will be saved as
LIBRCBK and LIBRTBK in #POPLIB.
A library called RPGFTST will also be created. The library contains programs
which you can use to test the installation of both RPG/free and RPG/pretty.
When the installation is complete, the RPG/free Programming Procedures menu
FREEP will be displayed. Take option "3" to "Read RPG/free online
information". When the Online Information display appears, type "P" in the
"Command" field to print the Online Information. The display will lock while
the command is processed. When the display unlocks, press Command 7 to end
the job.
2.0 COPYING RPG/free FROM A BULLETIN BOARD
To copy RPG/free from a bulletin board, please follow these steps:
- Build a work library on the S/36 by keying the command:

- Copy all files from the bulletin board to the work library, RPGFCOPY.

contain. Use the printout to copy the relevant members to each library,
and then delete the work library RPGFCOPY.

You should now have a full working copy of RPG/free loaded on your system.
If you want to print the RPG/free Online Information, key "FREEP" and follow
the instructions at the end of the previous section.
