2. Installation

The VTfm installation process is very simple and includes the following two steps:

• Unzip VTFM.ZIP kit in some directory and then use the following DCL commands

                   $ SET DEFAULT [.VTFM]
                   $ @VTFM.COM

           The result of this operation is VTfm executable VTFM.VAX_EXE for VAX,
           VTFM.ALPHA_EXE for ALPHA or VTFM.IA64_EXE for ITANIUM (IA64).

• Define DCL symbol for VTfm executable. For example, for Alpha architecture define

                     $ VTFM :== $DEV:[DIR]VTFM.ALPHA_EXE

           where DEV and DIR are device and directory where you built VTfm executable.

Now you can invoke VTfm with the command:

                     $ VTFM

Notes

1. If result of command “$ @VTFM.COM” is not successful (for example, if you have older DEC C
     compiler) try to edit VTFM.COM file and modify line

                               “$ cc/nodebug/…”
                     to
                               “$ cc/standard=vaxc/nodebug/…”

2. If you receive a message about exceeded quota when execute “$ @VTFM.COM” or invoke VTfm then      increase Pgflquo quota for your account.

2.1 Terminal settings

VTfm uses terminal characteristics, which was set before VTfm invocation. So, you must use default 24´80 width/page (columns/rows) or set numbers of terminal columns you wish for VTfm with, for example, the following DCL command

                     $ SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE/WIDTH=132

2.2 TPU settings

VTfm includes an integrated TPU facility, which also uses settings that was set for it before VTfm invocation. For example, if you wish EDT-style keypad functionality for VTfm integrated TPU you can define logical name EVE$KEYPAD with the following DCL command

                     $ DEFINE/NOLOG EVE$KEYPAD EDT
