Creating a DOWNL.OAD File

From the AVAIL Software Package

  1. Boot the computer under XENIX or UNIX.

  2. Log on as "root", and type "hobbit" as the password.

  3. Log in and change the directory to /usr/avail/trans/report:

cd /usr/avail/trans/report

  1. Copy the AVAIL download file to the PC-DMIS subdirectory on the DOS partition (that is, PCDMISW):

doscp sysparam.dat c:/pcdmisw

  1. Issue a shutdown or reboot command to UNIX:

shutdown -y -g0

or

reboot

Steps 7, 8, and 9 are not required under normal circumstances. These steps should only be taken if you need to change the download file from the original setup in AVAIL.

  1. Reboot the computer.

  2. Change the directory to where PC-DMIS is installed (for example, PCDMISW).

CD \PCDMISW

  1. Run the SYSGEN program:

sysgen

  1. If required, modify the parameters; disable the PH9 if none exists. To save and exit, press S.

  2. Run the conversion program:

cd /u/mm4/sys_data/files

  1. Copy the MM4 download file to the PC-DMIS subdirectory on the DOS partition (for example, PCDMISW):

doscp syspar.bin c:/pcdmisw

  1. Issue a shutdown or reboot command to UNIX:

shutdown -y -g0

or

reboot

  1. Change the directory to where PC-DMIS is installed (for example, PCDMISW).

CD \PCDMISW

  1. Rename syspar.bin to sysparam.dat.

REN SYSPAR.BIN SYSPARAM.DAT

Steps 8 and 9 are not required under normal circumstances. These steps should only be taken if you need to change the download file from the original setup in MM4.

copy sysparam.dat \pcdmisw

  1. Change the directory to where PC-DMIS is installed (for example, PCDMISW).
