Installation Instructions for ASIS Fundamentals Training

1.  The ASIS Training course is provided on a 3.5" floppy in MS-DOS 
format.  The disk contains five files:

   ASIS.PPT      The PowerPoint file that contains the training slides
   SOLUTION.TAR  The Ada units that are the solutions to the exercises
   UTILITYS.TAR  The Ada units that comprise the TSO ASIS utilities
   REUSABLE.TAR  The Ada units that are reusable components
   README        These instructions


2.  Copy the ASIS.PPT file on to your PC, into the directory that 
contains your PowerPoint presentations, such as C:\POWERPNT.  For
an audience of 1 or 2, you may want to go through the training from
within PowerPoint, rather than printing out the slides.  There are
no notes associated with this release.


3.  Place the disk into your workstation, and copy the two tar files.
If you have never read a DOS disk from your Sparc or RS6000, follow
these steps:

   a.  For Sun/Sparc:  Use "su" to become root.  Then execute the
   command "mount /pcfs".  If you get an error, see your sys admin.
   Finally, use "cp /pcfs/*.tar ." followed by "eject".

   b.  For IBM/RS6000:  Execute "dosread *.TAR".


4.  Create a training area in your file system.  Create three subsystems,
reusables.ss, asis_utilities.ss and asis_training.ss.  If you already
have the reuables.ss somewhere on your file system, you do not need
to create a new one.  Otherwise, in reusables.ss create a working view 
corresponding to your current Apex release, such as apex.1.2.wrk. Copy
the reusable.tar file into that view, and execute "tar xvf reusable.tar".
Code all units in the view.

5.  Create a working view for the asis_utilities.ss corresponding to
your current ASIS release, such as asis.2.6.wrk.  Copy the utilitys.tar
file into that view, and execute "tar xvf utilitys.tar".  Import the
current ASIS release and the working view from reusables.ss.  Code
all units in the view.

6.  Create one working view in asis_training.ss for each person attending 
training, such as bsmith.wrk.  Create one additional view called
solutions.wrk.  Import the current ASIS release and the working view
from asis_utilities.ss into all views.  Copy the solution.tar file
into the solutions.wrk view, and execute "tar xvf solution.tar".  Code
all units in the view.
