If you are a new Qedit user, please follow the installation instructions in the user manual. It should take about half an hour to complete all steps. No one can use Qedit during this time. Installation Assistance If you have any questions about the upgrade process, or run into any problems, please call us. Technical support is available on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pacific time. As well, you can receive emergency support outside of these hours by calling our regular phone number and asking the operator to page a support person for you. Replace Any Pre-Release If you are currently running a pre-release version of Qedit, you should replace it with this new official release. Pre-release versions expire within two years of their creation date, whereas this new release has no expiry date. You can tell a pre-release by a three-part version number (e.g., 4.2.52) and the words "Pre-Release" next to the version number. Summary of Installation Steps There are four steps for installing Qedit: 1. You must log on as root. 2. You must create the correct directory structure. 3. You must restore Qedit/UX and its associated files from the distribution tape. 4. You can optionally set up a path for Qedit/UX or copy it to an existing directory in your path. 5. You can install WinHelp documentation files (optional). Step 1: Log On as Root You may log on as root in either of two ways: a. Exit from HP-UX and log on with root as the user name. b. If you are already logged on, you can execute this command: su - In either case, you will have to know and supply the user password for root. Step 2: Create Robelle Directory Qedit/UX is installed in /usr/robelle. Before restoring the files, you must first create /usr/robelle: mkdir /usr/robelle Step 3: Restore Files Use the following command to restore the Qedit/UX files from the distribution tape: tar xv /usr/robelle After successfully restoring the files, you can run the new version of Qedit/UX: /usr/robelle/bin/qedit Step 4: Setup Path (optional) You can invoke Qedit with the following command: /usr/robelle/bin/qedit If you want to be able to just type qedit to invoke Qedit/UX, you must either add /usr/robelle/bin to your PATH or copy /usr/robelle/bin/qedit to a directory that is currently on your PATH. Similarly, the man pages for Qedit are found in /usr/robelle/man/man1/qedit.1. To make the man pages available to everyone, you can either add /usr/robelle/man to your MANPATH or you can copy the man pages to a directory that is currently on your MANPATH. Step 5: Install WinHelp Documentation Files (optional) The Qedit for HP-UX and Qedit for MPE documentation is now available in Microsoft Windows WinHelp format. To install these files onto a PC, do the following. To use WinHelp with our Help files, your PC must have MS Windows 3.1 or a later version. Make a Temporary Directory for the Setup Program From DOS or File Manager make a directory to copy the installation files (you can remove this directory after installing the WinHelp files): mkdir \robtemp Download Compressed File The next step is to download the self-extracting Zip file to your PC. Instructions for downloading this file using Reflection are outlined for you. The file on the HP 9000 is called: /usr/robelle/winhelp/qedhelp.exe You should be in the /usr/robelle/winhelp directory. Press Alt-Y to go to the Reflection command line window (you must use binary transfer): receive c:\robtemp\qedhelp.exe from qedhelp.exe binary Expand the Compressed Files Since we provide the Setup program and Help files in one self-extracting Zip file, you only need the following commands to extract the files. From the DOS prompt type the following commands: cd \robtemp {go to where we downloaded the file} qedhelp.exe {extract the Help files} Run the Setup Program From within Program Manager, run the Setup program by choosing Run from the File menu, then enter c:\robtemp\setup in the Command Line box. Follow the instructions as provided by the setup program. You are now able to access all of the Qedit documentation by selecting any of the icons in the "Robelle Help" Program Manager Group. Remove the Robtemp Directory You can now remove all of the files from the Robtemp directory either from the File Manager or by using the following DOS commands: cd \robtemp del *.* cd .. rmdir robtemp You could also copy the files in robtemp to a diskette and distribute to other Qedit users.
