To install ACUCOBOL-GT, perform the following steps:
1. You must define three symbols: one each to access the compiler, the runtime system, and the VIO utility. These need to be defined for every user who will use ACUCOBOL-GT. If you want to allow everyone to have access to ACUCOBOL-GT, you can place the commands in the "SYLOGIN.COM" file of the SYSTEM directory. Otherwise, they should be placed in the "LOGIN.COM" file for each user who will use ACUCOBOL-GT.
The following four lines are the commands that you should use to define these symbols:
CCBL == "$disk:[directory]CCBL.EXE"
CBLUTIL == "$disk:[directory]CBLUTIL.EXE"
RUNCBL == "$disk:[directory]RUNCBL.EXE"
VIO == "$disk:[directory]VIO.EXE"
Note the use of the dollar sign. This indicates to VMS that these symbols represent executable programs.
2. Copy the file "A_TERMS.DAT" to the SYS$LIBRARY directory. Make sure it has "read" permission for everyone.
3. Copy the file "CBLHELP.DAT" to the SYS$HELP directory. Make sure it has "read" permission for everyone.
4. Copy the file "A_CONFIG.DAT" to the SYS$LIBRARY directory. You will probably need to edit this file. In particular, you should configure it to support the printers you have attached to your system. The User's Guide Chapter 2, called "Compiler and Runtime," contains details about the configuration file.
5. Log out and log back in (to get the CCBL and RUNCBL symbols defined for you). Move to the directory that contains the ACUCOBOL-GT sample programs. Then try compiling and running the tour demonstration program with the following commands:
CCBL TOUR.CBL
RUNCBL
If you have a VT-100 compatible terminal, you should be able to run this program. To make use of some of the more advanced features of your particular terminal (or if you do not have a VT-100 compatible), configure your terminal as outlined in section A.2.
