1.5.2 Extracting the files

Acucorp products are shipped for VMS on VAX machines in BACKUP format. Select a directory where you want them to reside. In these instructions, this is referred to as directory. To read the tape, type the following commands:

ALLOCATE device
MOUNT/FOREIGN device
BACKUP device   [...]

where device is the name of your tape device.

After extracting the release files from the tape, read the "READ_ME" and "RELEASE" file (if present). The "READ_ME" file describes the files included with the product. The "RELEASE" file contains changes to the compiler not covered in the documentation.
