- MidasWWW VAX Installation Instructions
- VAX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
- These instructions are for the VAX. See README file for UNIX installation
- instructions.
-
- Requirements
-
- To install this version of MidasWWW you will need a VAX running VMS 5.4 or
- greater, with DecWindows/Motif and C installed. You will also need MMS to
- be able to build MidasWWW in the standard way (although you could certainly
- build MidasWWW without MMS if you do a little more work).
-
- Currently MidasWWW has only been run with Multinet TCP/IP software. It
- should be possible to run it with other versions of TCP/IP for the VAX
- without too much trouble, if you succeed please feed the changes back to
- me.
-
- Obtaining MidasWWW
-
- You can obtain MidasWWW as a compressed TAR file via anonymous FTP from
- FreeHEP.Scri.Fsu.Edu, in directory
-
-
- /pub/freehep/networking_email_news/midaswww
-
- In this case you will need TAR2VMS and some way to uncompress the file (I
- don't know of a VMS version of uncompress...I usually uncompress files on
- UNIX and then ship the tar file to VMS).
-
- Alternatively if you are on HEPNET you can get a VMS BACKUP version of
- MidasWWW using DECNET from:
-
-
- SLACVX::DISK$SLD_FAC0:[EXPORT]MIDASWWW_1_0.BCK
-
- (SLACVX is HEPNET node 44.481). To unpack the backup file use the command:
-
-
- $ backup/log MIDASWWW_1_0.BCK/save *.*
-
- Building
-
- Once you have obtained MidasWWW and unpacked it, set your default directory
- to be the directory containing the unpacked files. To build MidasWWW use the
- following command:
-
-
- $ mms all
-
- Testing
-
- To try out MidasWWW first make sure your X windows DISPLAY is set up
- correctly (use the SET DISPLAY command to set it). Then issue the command:
-
-
- $ mms test
-
- Please ignore the message
-
-
- X Toolkit Warning: Urm__FetchLiteral: Can't find literal 'MidasWWWIcon' - MrmNO
- T_FOUND
-
- This is a known bug.
-
- Installing
-
- To install MidasWWW five files must be placed in a public area. These are:
-
- MIDASWWW.EXE The executable file
-
- MIDAS.UID User Interface definition file
-
- MIDASWWW.UID User Interface definition file
-
- MIDAS.DAT X-resource file
-
- MIDASWWW.DAT X-resource file
-
- If you do not install all five files MidasWWW will not run. The .EXE file
- can be installed anywhere (for example in the SYS$SYSTEM: directory), and a
- suitable global symbol should be defined in the system login file. A
- suitable definition is:
-
-
- $ MIDASWWW == "$SYS$SYSTEM:MIDASWWW -NAME MIDASWWW"
-
- The four remaining files must be installed in a directory pointed to by the
- logical name DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS, for example in
- SYS$COMMON:[DECW$DEFAULTS.USER].
-
- Once this has been done your users will be able to start MidasWWW by using
- the command:
-
-
- $ MIDASWWW
-
- Starting MidasWWW from your Session Manager
-
- If you wish "World Wide Web" to appear in the applications menu of your
- DecWindows session manager or FileView then you must install two more files.
- These are:
-
- MIDASWWW.VUE$DAT Defines an entry in the "Application" menu
-
- VUE$MIDASWWW.COM Runs MidasWWW from FileView
-
- (These files are only included in the BACKUP version of the MidasWWW
- distribution). Both files must be installed in a directory pointer to by
- VUE$LIBRARY, for example SYS$COMMON:[VUE$LIBRARY.USER].
-
- Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
