MidasWWW VAX Installation Instructions
VAX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are for the VAX. See README file for UNIX installation
instructions.
Requirements
To install this version of MidasWWW you will need a VAX running VMS 5.4 or
greater, with DecWindows/Motif and C installed. You will also need MMS to
be able to build MidasWWW in the standard way (although you could certainly
build MidasWWW without MMS if you do a little more work).
Currently MidasWWW has only been run with Multinet TCP/IP software. It
should be possible to run it with other versions of TCP/IP for the VAX
without too much trouble, if you succeed please feed the changes back to
me.
Obtaining MidasWWW
You can obtain MidasWWW as a compressed TAR file via anonymous FTP from
FreeHEP.Scri.Fsu.Edu, in directory
/pub/freehep/networking_email_news/midaswww
In this case you will need TAR2VMS and some way to uncompress the file (I
don't know of a VMS version of uncompress...I usually uncompress files on
UNIX and then ship the tar file to VMS).
Alternatively if you are on HEPNET you can get a VMS BACKUP version of
MidasWWW using DECNET from:
SLACVX::DISK$SLD_FAC0:[EXPORT]MIDASWWW_1_0.BCK
(SLACVX is HEPNET node 44.481). To unpack the backup file use the command:
$ backup/log MIDASWWW_1_0.BCK/save *.*
Building
Once you have obtained MidasWWW and unpacked it, set your default directory
to be the directory containing the unpacked files. To build MidasWWW use the
following command:
$ mms all
Testing
To try out MidasWWW first make sure your X windows DISPLAY is set up
correctly (use the SET DISPLAY command to set it). Then issue the command:
$ mms test
Please ignore the message
X Toolkit Warning: Urm__FetchLiteral: Can't find literal 'MidasWWWIcon' - MrmNO
T_FOUND
This is a known bug.
Installing
To install MidasWWW five files must be placed in a public area. These are:
MIDASWWW.EXE The executable file
MIDAS.UID User Interface definition file
MIDASWWW.UID User Interface definition file
MIDAS.DAT X-resource file
MIDASWWW.DAT X-resource file
If you do not install all five files MidasWWW will not run. The .EXE file
can be installed anywhere (for example in the SYS$SYSTEM: directory), and a
suitable global symbol should be defined in the system login file. A
suitable definition is:
$ MIDASWWW == "$SYS$SYSTEM:MIDASWWW -NAME MIDASWWW"
The four remaining files must be installed in a directory pointed to by the
logical name DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS, for example in
SYS$COMMON:[DECW$DEFAULTS.USER].
Once this has been done your users will be able to start MidasWWW by using
the command:
$ MIDASWWW
Starting MidasWWW from your Session Manager
If you wish "World Wide Web" to appear in the applications menu of your
DecWindows session manager or FileView then you must install two more files.
These are:
MIDASWWW.VUE$DAT Defines an entry in the "Application" menu
VUE$MIDASWWW.COM Runs MidasWWW from FileView
(These files are only included in the BACKUP version of the MidasWWW
distribution). Both files must be installed in a directory pointer to by
VUE$LIBRARY, for example SYS$COMMON:[VUE$LIBRARY.USER].
Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
