Installation and System Requirements

Platforms supported by Templeton

In order to run Templeton, you should have the correct executable for your operating system. Please select your operating system and platform from the list below:

OS/2
Linux for a PC
SunOS or Solaris for a Sparc station

Other operating systems, such as IRIX, HP-UX, DOS with Windows 3.1, Windows NT, or Win95 may be supported in the future depending upon customer demand.

Note: Hard disk requirements are not listed. The Templeton executable is relatively small. However, the data copied from remote WWW sites may be large and you should probably have between 2 and 50 Megs of disk space for mirroring (depending on your usage).

OS/2

System Requirements: OS/2 3.0 (Warp) or later, TCP/IP 2.0 or the IBM Internet Connection for OS/2. HPFS prefered, but it runs fine under FAT -- just truncate all names to 8 characters. For example, templeton.exe becomes templeto.exe.

Required Files:

The Templeton executable: templeton.exe. This file should be placed in the tcpip/bin directory.
The Templeton configuration file: Templeton.cfg or Templeto.cfg. The file with the system defaults should be placed in the tcpip/etc directory.
The EMX runtime libraries version 0.9a or later. This is available via anonymous FTP from Hobbes or OS/2 CD-ROM from the os2/unix subdirectory.
The termcap.dat file installed and configured for your display. This is available via anonymous FTP from Hobbes or OS/2 CD-ROM from the os2/unix subdirectory.
The testcfg.sys device driver. This comes with OS/2 and should already be installed in your config.sys file.

To run Templeton, type templeton.exe at the command prompt. The current revision of Templeton is text-only (no GUI). If there is a show of support for this application, then I will create a GUI in future releases.

Linux

System Requirements: Linux Slakware version 3.0 or later (1.2.13 kernel or later).

Required Files:

The Templeton executable: tlinux. This file should be placed in the /etc/bin or /etc/local/bin (or your own favorite BIN) directory. This file must run with effective super-user access, otherwise, it will only run in unregistered mode.
The Templeton configuration file: templeton.cfg. This file should exist in the /etc directory for the system defaults.

Not yet released.

SunOS and Solaris

System Requirements: SunOS version 4.1.3 or Solaris 2.x in SunOS compatability mode.

Required Files:

The Templeton executable: tsunos. This file should be placed in the /etc/bin or /etc/local/bin directory (or somewhere in your PATH)
The Templeton configuration file: templeton.cfg. This file should exist in the /etc directory for the system defaults.
Individual users may use a .templetonrc configuration in their home directories.

To run Templeton, type tsunos at the command prompt. Optionally, this executable may be renamed to templeton. The current revision of Templeton is text-only (no X-windows support). A GUI may be created in future releases.
