To install Acucorp products, perform the following steps:
1. You must define symbols so that users can access the executables. Define one symbol each for the compiler, the runtime system, and the VIO utility for every user who will use ACUCOBOL-GT. You will also need to define a symbol for the Activator utility for the system administrator. If you want to allow everyone to have access to an executable, you can place the command in the "SYLOGIN.COM" file of the SYSTEM directory. Otherwise, it should be placed in the "LOGIN.COM" file for each user who requires access.
The following five 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" ACTIVATOR == "$disk:[directory]ACTIVATOR.EXE"
3. Copy the file "CBLHELP.DAT" to the SYS$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 ACUCOBOL-GT User's Guide Chapter 2, called "Compiler and Runtime," contains details about the configuration file.
5. Once your products have been installed, start the Activator from the "/bin" subdirectory.
6. At the prompt, type the product code and product key that came with your product package. When you press <ENTER> after typing in each code and key pair, the license file is created. Repeat this cycle until the code/key pairs for each product you have ordered are entered.
7. 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 TOUR
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 of Book 4 of the ACUCOBOL-GT manual set.
