Installing the Qedit for Windows Client and Servers

Qedit for Windows is a client-server application. There are two, or possibly three, components to install:

• The client software is installed onto a computer running Microsoft Windows
• The MPE server software is installed onto a host computer running MPE/iX
• The HP-UX server software is installed onto a host computer running HP-UX

Your can download each component of the demo from this page. The server installation process uses ftp to transfer the files from your PC to the host system(s). Make sure ftp access is enabled on the host(s).

Completing the HP-UX Server Installation

Once the HP-UX server files have been copied from the PC to the HP-UX host, you need to complete a few steps on the host.

1. Using a terminal or emulator (e.g. Reflection), sign on to the HP-UX host as root
2. Setup the robelle environment variable that the server daemon needs:

           ROBELLE=/opt/robelle
           export ROBELLE
   

3. Start the Qedit for Windows server daemon:

    
           /opt/robelle/bin/qedit -d -t
   

The server process will stay running until it is killed explicitly or until the system is shut down. You will have to do steps 1-3 every time you want to start the server, or you can contact Robelle for the instructions on starting the daemon as part of the system startup process.
