The installation program, Inno Setup, prompts for further information.

The distribution does not contain a licence key, and WinFPT will prompt for a key when you run it for the first time. If you downloaded WinFPT and requested a licence key it will have been generated automatically and e-mailed to you. If you did not request a key, you may return to the download page and request one now, or contact SimCon to request a key to evaluate the product. To issue a key, we ask for the following information:

• Your name
• Your company or academic institution
• The address of your company or academic institution

To test the installation, please run the Q.A. Analysis tutorial, under Help | Help Topics | Tutorials.

NOTE: FPT is packaged for download using Info-ZIP's compression utility. The installation procedure uses UnZip. Info-ZIP's software (Zip, UnZip and related utilities) is free and can be obtained as source code or executables from Internet/WWW sites, including http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/

1. Unzip the FPT saveset

The download and CD distribution is an Info-ZIP saveset. On the CD, this file resides in [FPT.FPTVMS] .

Please DO NOT attempt to unzip the distribution on a PC or Unix system and copy it to your VAX. PC and Unix file structures do not preserve the file attributes of a VMS saveset, and the distribution saveset may then become unreadable.

Choose a temporary directory for the FPT saveset. Set default to this directory and unzip the saveset from the distribution with the command, for example:

        $ unzip fptvax_34e.zip

for VAX/VMS, or:

        $ unzip fptalpha_34e.zip

for OpenVMS/AXP. The zip file names indicate the version of FPT. In this example, the suffix _34e indicates FPT version 3.4-e. The suffix changes as new versions are released.

2. Restore the files from the saveset

Choose a directory below which the FPT files are to be written. Use VMS backup to restore the files. The first level directory in the saveset is named FPT, so it is not necessary to start with a directory with this name.

For example, for VAX/VMS:

        $ backup/log fptvax.sav/saveset [david.utils...]

for OpenVMS/AXP:

        $ backup/log fptalpha.sav/saveset [david.utils...]

3. Set Up Assignments to Access FPT

Edit the LOGIN.COM command files of users who will use FPT, or the system SYLOGIN.COM file if all users are to have access.

        $ set default sys$login
        $ edit login.com

Insert the lines, e.g.:

        $ assign/nolog dua0:[david.utils.fpt.fpt34] fptmain
        $ @fptmain:fpt_symb

Where DUA0:[DAVID.UTILS] are the device and directory below which the FPT files were written, and "34" is the current version of FPT. The name FPT34 indicates FPT version 3.4. The directory name does not include the sub-version letter, for example, the '-k' in FPT version 3.3-k.

Run the login command file, or make these commands interactively

4. Install Your Licence Key

The distribution contains a shareware and evaluation licence key and licensee banner. Site-specific licences are issued as self-contained files named user.fsp. If you have a site-specific licence, please copy your version of user.fsp to the main FPT directory, FPTMAIN:, superseding the shareware and evaluation key already there.

5. Run FPT on an Example Program to Verify Correct Installation

Set default to the example directory

        $ set default fptmain
        $ set default [-.fpteg]

Run FPT on a demonstration program:

        $ fpt qa_dem.fsp

	fptaix_xxx.tar.Z	IBM AIX (unix) for the RS6000
	fpthp_xxx.tar.Z	HP-UX for the HP 9000 series
	fptilnx_xxx.tar.gz	Intel Linux
	fptosf1_xxx.tar.Z	OSF1 / DEC Unix / Tru64 Unix
	fptsgi_xxx.tar.Z	Irix for SGI platforms.
	fptsun_xxx.tar.Z	SUNOS and Solaris for Sun Sparc series

The Intel Linux distribution is a gzip compressed file of the tar archive. The remaining Unix distributions are the tar archives compressed by the Unix compress utility. The CD distribution contains the archives in uncompressed form in the directory fpt/fptunix .

The archives have the directory structure:

	.../fpt/fpteg/*	Example programs
	.../fpt/fptxx/*	FPT executables and configuration data
	.../fpt/fptxx/fpthelp/*	Help files
	.../fpt/fptxx/ftm/*	Fortran template files
	.../fpt/fptxx/adbserve/*	Access database library
	.../fpt/fptxx/pd_lib/*	Protected divide library
	.../fpt/fptxx/fpt_lib/*	Small FPT libraries
	.../fpt/fptxx/rr_lib/*	Record/replay library
	.../fpt/fptxx/rtt_lib/*	Run-time trace library
	.../fpt/fptxx/tools/*	Tools

where "xx" is the FPT version number.

Please choose a directory under which to install FPT. Change to this directory and use uncompress or gunzip and then tar to unpack the archives, e.g.

        $ cd /usr/local
        $ uncompress fptosf1_33e.tar.Z
        $ tar -xvf usr/CD/fpt/fptosf1_33e.tar

Please note that the distribution has a shareware and evaluation licence key and licensee banner. If you have a site-specific licence, please install it as follows:

In versions of FPT before FPT 3.3-f, please edit your licence key and licensee banner into the file config.fsp in the main FPT directory. Please take care that the punctuation and spelling of the licensee banner is reproduced exactly.

If FPT versions 3.3-f and later, please copy the licence file user.fsp into the main FPT directory, replacing the copy of user.fsp already there.

Please copy fpt.sh to a file named fpt with no file name extension in a directory in your path. Edit this file, and insert the name of the main FPT directory as indicated.

Change to the examples directory, and run FPT on an example program to test the installation, for example:

	$ cd /usr/local/fpt/fpteg
	$ fpt qa_dem.fsp
