A.1.1 Installation of the Acu4GL for Informix Product

The Informix Acu4GL product is an add-on module that must be linked with the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime system, Version 4.2 or later (your versions of Acu4GL and the Runtime must be the same). For this reason, you'll need a C compiler to install Acu4GL. Acu4GL is compatible with Informix versions 5.1, 7.2, and later.

Important: Please make sure that you have obtained the proper Informix libraries for your version of Informix. The libraries and contact information for Informix can be found in section A.1, "Getting Started with Acu4GL for Informix".

Acu4GL is shipped using either TAR or CPIO format, depending on the type of machine you have. The label on the product medium tells you which format has been used.

Create a directory on your machine to hold the product and then type one of the following commands:

tar xfv device

cpio -icvBd < device

In either case, device is the appropriate hardware device name (for example, /dev/rdiskette or /dev/rmt0).

Note: Sites using Texas Instruments System 1500 should add an uppercase T to the cpio options ("-icvBdT").
