QEDIT/UX Version 4.5.01 Full-Screen Text Editor for HP-UX Installation If you are a new Qedit user, please follow the installation instructions in the Qedit User Manual. The following instructions assume that you are an existing Qedit user who is upgrading to version 4.5.01. To install this upgrade of Qedit/UX, follow these steps: 1. You must log on as root. 2. You must create the correct directory structure. 3. You must restore Qedit/UX and its associated files from the distribution tape. 4. You can optionally set up a path for Qedit/UX or copy it to an existing directory in your path. 5. You can install WinHelp documentation files (optional). It should take about 30 minutes to complete all the steps; no one can use Qedit during this time. Installation Assistance If you have any questions about the upgrade or run into any problems, please call us. Technical support is available on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pacific time. You can also receive emergency support outside of these hours by calling our regular phone number and asking the operator to page a support person for you. Replace Any Pre-Release If you are currently running a pre-release version of Qedit, you should replace it with this new official release. Pre-release versions expire within two years of their creation date, whereas this new release has no expiry date. You can easily recognize a pre-release by its three-part version number (e.g., 4.3.52) and the words "Pre-Release" next to the version number. Step 1: Log On as Root You can log on as root in either of two ways: a. Exit from HP-UX and log on with root as the user name. b. If you are already logged on, you can execute this command: su - In either case, you have to know and supply the user password for root. Step 2: Create Robelle Directory Qedit/UX is installed in /usr/robelle. Before restoring the files, you must first create the Robelle directory (/usr/robelle): mkdir /usr/robelle Step 3: Restore Files Use the following command to restore the Qedit/UX files from the distribution tape: tar xv /usr/robelle After successfully restoring the files, you can run the new version of Qedit/UX: /usr/robelle/bin/qedit Step 4: Set Up Path (optional) You can invoke Qedit with the following command: /usr/robelle/bin/qedit If you just type qedit to invoke Qedit/UX, you must either add /usr/robelle/bin to your PATH or copy /usr/robelle/bin/qedit to a directory that is currently on your PATH. Similarly, the man pages for Qedit are found in /usr/robelle/man/man1/qedit.1. To make the man pages available to everyone, you can either add /usr/robelle/man to your MANPATH or you can copy the man pages to a directory that is currently on your MANPATH. Step 5: Install WinHelp Documentation Files (optional) The Qedit documentation for both MPE and HP-UX is now available in the MS-Windows WinHelp format. You can only use these files if you have MS Windows 3.1 or later. To install the WinHelp files on a PC, follow these instructions. Make a Temporary Directory for the Setup Program From either DOS or the File Manager, make a directory for the installation files. You can remove this directory after installing the WinHelp files. mkdir \robtemp Download the Compressed Files In the next step, use Reflection to download the self-extracting Zip file to your PC. This Zip file on the HP 3000 is called Qedhelp.Whelp.Robelle. You should be logged on as Mgr.Robelle. Press Alt-Y to go to the Reflection Command Line window. Make sure you use the binary transfer. receive c:\robtemp\qedhelp.exe from qedhelp.whelp.robelle binary Expand the Compressed Files You only need the following commands to extract the files because we provide the Setup program and Help files in one self-extracting Zip file. From the DOS prompt, type these commands: cd \robtemp {go to the new Robtemp directory} qedhelp.exe {extract the Help files} Run the Setup Program From the Program Manager, run the Setup program by choosing Run from the File menu, then type c:\robtemp\setup in the Command Line box. Follow the instructions in the Setup program. You can now access all the Qedit documentation by selecting any of the icons in the "Robelle Help" Program Manager Group. Remove the Robtemp Directory Now you can remove all the files from the Robtemp directory; either delete them from the File Manager or use the following DOS commands: cd \robtemp del *.* {delete all the files} cd .. rmdir robtemp {remove the Robtemp directory} You can also copy the files in Robtemp to a diskette and distribute them to other Qedit users.
