Annotation of 43BSDReno/usr.bin/ex/OTHER/vms/VMS_README, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: This version of ex/vi has modifications to make it run under vms.
        !             2: Files that are specific to VMS are stored in the "vms" subdirectory.
        !             3: When installed on a VMS system, all files should be in the same
        !             4: directory (i.e. files in the "vms" subdirectory should be moved into
        !             5: the main directory).  The file "makefile.com" is a DCL script for
        !             6: compiling the ex/vi system under vms.  You will need a C compiler with
        !             7: all the #include files installed in SYS$LIBRARY.  If they are placed in
        !             8: other directory, you will need to define either VAXC$INCLUDE or
        !             9: C$INCLUDE to be the other directory.  Then you should be able to type
        !            10: 
        !            11:        @makefile all
        !            12: 
        !            13: and produce an ex.exe image.
        !            14: 
        !            15: Since vms does not support links, this version of ex/vi tries to figure
        !            16: out how it was invoked by looking at the *second* argument (argv[1])
        !            17: with which it was called.  Thus, the proper way to invoke the image is
        !            18: by having defined strings such as
        !            19: 
        !            20:        EX == "$DEV:[DIR]EX.EXE EX"
        !            21:        VI == "$DEV:[DIR]EX.EXE VI"
        !            22:        VIEW == "$DEV:[DIR]EX.EXE VIEW"
        !            23:        EDIT == "$DEV:[DIR]EX.EXE EDIT"
        !            24: 
        !            25: You must also define the terminal type as well as termcap location, e.g.
        !            26: 
        !            27:        define term "vt100"
        !            28:        define termcap usr:[huang]term.cap
        !            29: 
        !            30: Note that the "vt100" is in lower case.  This is very important since
        !            31: vi and termcap are case sensitive.  The default location of the termcap
        !            32: file is "etc:termcap." but may be overridden by defining the "termcap"
        !            33: logical name.
        !            34: 
        !            35: Good luck.
        !            36:
