1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
The inst_dev product includes 'swpkg', a Motif based tool
used to package software for swmgr(1M), the Silicon Graphics
installation program. Swpkg provides an environment for
creating and updating spec and idb files and running
gendist(1M).
A spec file defines the products that will be turned into a
software distribution by gendist. It gives the names of the
products, their images and subsystems, information about the
contents of those subsystems, and the installation procedure
and environment they require. Installation database (idb)
files contain one line of information for every file,
directory, link, and fifo in a product.
Note: Packaged with your software is a separate sheet that
contains the Software License Agreement. This
software is provided to you solely under the terms
and conditions of the Software License Agreement.
Please take a few moments to review the Agreement.

After you install the online release notes for a product
(the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s subsystem), you can view the release notes on
your screen.
Note: You can read the online release notes for most
products before installing the software. Refer to
the booklet in your CD-ROM case for more information.
If you have a graphics system, select ``Release Notes'' from
the Help submenu of the Toolchest. This displays the
_g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) graphical browser for the online release notes.
Refer to the _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for information on
options to this command.
If you do not have a graphics system, you can use the
_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s command. Refer to the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for
accessing the online release notes.
