2.4 Software Installation Procedure (VMS BACKUP saveset)
Some software distributions or updates from Protogate may be in the form of a ZIP file
or a VMS
BACKUP saveset that does not use the VMSINSTAL utility. This section lists
the procedures to install software from this type of distribution.
Caution
Remember that installing new software overwrites the previous
version of that software.
The software distribution will usually contain three files as listed below:
• filename.BCK: a binary file containing the VMS BACKUP saveset
• filename.LOG: a text file containing a listing of the BACKUP saveset
• filename.TXT: a text file containing additional installation instuctions
• (Where filename is the name of the software distrbution.)
Always read the TXT file included in the distribution as it may contain software notes
and additional installation instructions.
If you have multiple savesets, install the driver/DLITE or DLI saveset first, then install
the protocol savesets into the same Freeway directory tree. The protocol saveset will cre-
ate the subdirectories needed for it’s specific protocol files and test programs.
Step 1: If the distribution is a ZIP file, unzip the file on a Windows PC to get the
BCK,
LOG, and TXT files. If the distribution came on a CD ROM, copy the files from the VMS
distribution directory onto your Windows PC. If you have an unzip utility or a CD
ROM drive on your VMS system, you may extract the distribution files directly on your
VMS system and skip the next step.
