The Acu4GL for Oracle interface is an add-on module that must be linked with the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime system. For this reason, you'll need a C compiler to install the interface. In order to interface, you must use Version 4.2 or greater of the ACUCOBOL-GT compiler and runtime.
The interface is shipped using either TAR or CPIO format, depending on the type of machine you have. The label on the medium shipped to you tells you which format has been used.
From your Acucobol directory choose where you want to install the interface (or create a new directory for it) and then type one of the following commands:
tar xfv device <enter>
-or-
cpio -icvBd < device <enter>
This will copy the files from the distribution medium to your Acucobol directory structure. device is the appropriate hardware device name (for example, /dev/rdiskette or /dev/rmt0). Sites using Texas Instruments System 1500 should add an uppercase T to the cpio options (-icvBdT).
