Installation Instructions for
Ada Language Reference Manual Reader
Copyright 1989, Esther M. Lumsdon
Source for 2 versions of the Ada Language Reference Manual Reader
is included in the VAX/VMS distribution of this software, and
source and executable for 1 version in the PC/AT distribution. One
of the VAX/VMS versions (using package LRM_SMG) interfaces to the
SMG$ routines in the VAX/VMS Run-Time Library and requires a
VT-100 or higher terminal; the other (using package LRM_NON_SMG)
will run on any ANSI terminal, including a paper console. The
VAX/VMS executables were compiled under DEC VAX Ada version 1.5
and VMS version 4.7. The PC/AT executable was compiled under
Meridian AdaVantage version 2.1 and MS-DOS version 3.2. The SMG$
version draws borders on the screen, and eliminates the need for
the user to strike the RETURN key when answering most prompts. The
PC/AT version will run on any PC/AT with at least 1 720KB drive,
but users will prefer to install it on a hard drive containing
more than 1,600,000 bytes of unused disk storage.
The data filenames are read from file or VMS logical LRMinit by
the Ada LRM Reader program. A first step in installing the Ada LRM
Reader for any computer is to fill a file named or a file pointed
to by a VMS logical LRMinit with complete filenames and paths for
the various data files used by the program.

VAX/VMS Installation Instructions:
Symbols Required:
Define symbol(s) representing the command(s) that execute the Ada LRM
Reader. Add these commands to a .COM file that will be executed every
time a user of this software logs into your computer system, such
as the LOGIN.COM of each user, or SYS$MANAGER:SYSLOGIN.COM.
LRMPLUS == "$SYS$MANAGER:ADA_LRM_SMG.EXE"! Name and directory of executable
! for Vt100-or-better-ONLY version.
LRM == "$SYS$MANAGER:ADA_LRM.EXE" ! Name and directory of executable
! for version that runs on
! any ANSI terminal.
Logicals Required:
These logicals must be defined before execution of Ada LRM.
Add these commands to the LOGIN.COM file of each user of Ada LRM Reader
if you don't want Ada LRM Reader to be system-wide.
DEFINE ADA$LRM_TOOLS "DUA0:[NEW_ADA.ADA.LRM_TOOLS]"
! Directory where those files sit.
DEFINE ADA$LRM "DUA0:[NEW_ADA.ADA.ANSI_LRM]"
! Directory where those files sit.
DEFINE LRMINIT "SYS$MANAGER:LRMINIT.
! File and path names required.
Or...
Add these commands to a .COM file that will be executed every time your
computer system is booted or rebooted, such as SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP.COM,
if you want Ada LRM Reader to be system-wide. Requires System Manager.
DEFINE/SYSTEM ADA$LRM_TOOLS "DUA0:[NEW_ADA.ADA.LRM_TOOLS]"
! Directory where those files sit.
DEFINE/SYSTEM ADA$LRM "DUA0:[NEW_ADA.ADA.ANSI_LRM]"
! Directory where those files sit.
DEFINE/SYSTEM LRMINIT "SYS$MANAGER:LRMINIT.
! File and path names required.
Make the executable images Shareable (optional) :
ADD SYS$MANAGER:ADA_LRM.EXE/OPEN/SHARE/HEADER_RESIDENT
ADD SYS$MANAGER:ADA_LRM_SMG.EXE/OPEN/SHARE/HEADER_RESIDENT
! format for System-wide command to make these shareable
! installed images. Requires System Manager. These commands
! are to be used with the INSTALL utility.
Copy the indicated files into the directory pointed at by logical
ADA$LRM. Copy the indicated files into the directory pointed at by
logical ADA$LRM_TOOLS. Compile the indicated units (see explanation
near the end of this document). Copy the executables to the places
pointed at by symbols LRM and LRMPLUS. To run either version of the Ada
LRM Reader, type LRM or LRMPLUS.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
PC/AT Installation Instructions:
You must have either a hard drive containing at least 1,600,000
free bytes of disk storage, or at least 1 720KB diskette drive. If
you have a hard drive, you should request the archived PC
distribution, and enclose 3 formatted disks of 3.5" or 5.25"
media. Otherwise, you should request the unarchived PC
distribution, and enclose 3 formatted disks (3.5" or 5.25") of
720KB or larger capacity.
The distributed executable of Ada LRM Reader was compiled using an
80286 processor. The distributed executable should run on an 8086
or 8088 machine. If it doesn't run on yours, please contact the
Ada Repository, or the contact person at Norfolk State University
for help.
After installation, to run the Ada Language Reference Manual
Reader, just type LRM.
The files LRM.EXE and LRMINIT must be in the same subdirectory, in
order for the Ada LRM Reader to work. You must be in that
subdirectory, or be running the Ada LRM Reader from a .BAT file.
You must create a file named LRMINIT. It must contain all of the
file and path names of the data files used by the Ada LRM Reader.
LRMINIT must contain the following, in order:
