Step 1: Install Qedit

This step requires three separate procedures: restoring all Robelle files from tape to disc, building (or upgrading) the Robelle account using the job stream that we provide, and streaming the installation job stream. All these procedures can easily be accomplished if you log on as Manager.Sys.

Restore Files

First, you have to restore all the Robelle files from tape.

  :hello manager.sys                 {log on as system manager}  :file rtape;dev=tape               {mount Robelle tape}  :restore *rtape; @.@.@; create     {=reply on the console}

Check the :Restore listing for files that could not be restored because they were busy for any of the following reasons: someone was using them, they are held as suspended son processes (menu system), they are allocated, or someone was backing them up! Chase away any users and deallocate any busy programs. Then try the :Restore again.

Create/Update Robelle Account

You must build (or upgrade) the Robelle account with the job stream we provide. Stream the job that builds and updates the Robelle account.

  :stream robelle.job.robelle

If the Robelle account already exists on your system, the installation job preserves the current passwords.

If the account does not exist, it is created with the password XXXX. The Mgr.Robelle user does not have a password. You should change the passwords to something that will be hard for outsiders to guess.

  :altacct robelle;pass={robelle account password}  :altuser mgr.robelle;pass={mgr.robelle user password}

Please note that during installation, we add OP capability to the Robelle account. When the Qedit installation is complete, you can, if you wish, remove the OP capability.

File Names

The Qedit program files are located in the Pub group of the Robelle account. These are the names of the various files:

Qeditnm		NM Qedit program
Qeditcm	Qeditpm	CM Qedit programs
Qcompxl		NM compiler interface
Qedify	Qcompusl	CM compiler interface
Qloadxl		NM Qedit options
Ederrnm	Ederrcm	:Editerror support
Qmap		reformat MPE V PMAP

Install Program Files

Our installation job installs Qedit. No one can be using these programs when you do the installation. Warn people not to use Qedit for a while, and then stream our installation job:

  :hello mgr.robelle  :warn @;please exit from Qedit NOW!  :stream install.qeditjob   {supply passwords}

Check the installation job $stdlist. If anyone was using Qedit or attempting to back it up, the job will fail. Chase away any users, ensure that backup is not in progress, then stream the installation job again.

The installation job renames your current versions of Qedit to the PubOld group of the Robelle account. If you need to move these versions back into production, use the Previous.QeditJob job stream.

You can now access Qedit by entering

  :run Qedit.pub.robelle

If you wish to print manuals, move Qedit to another account, read on in this chapter for instructions.
