INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING 'MAG' ON YOUR VAX


Note that the procedure MAG.INSTALL performs all of the following
steps for you.

 1. Decide where (device/directory) you want to locate MAG.EXE,
    and move the file there.  Users will need Execute access to
    this file.  MAG does not have to be INSTALLed.

 2. Decide where you want to locate MAG.DOC, a document describing
    MAG; move the file there.  Users will need Read access to this
    file.

 3. Decide where you want to locate MAG.HLB, a help library used
    when the HELP directive is used within MAG.  Do not move the
    file there until after step (8) below.  Users will need Read
    access to this file.

 4. Decide which tape drive is to be MAG's default.  The delivered
    default is MFA0.

 5. Edit MAG.CLD, changing lines containing data from items (1),
    (3), and (4) above (one line for each item).

 6. Edit MAG.DOC, changing all references to MFA0 to reflect your
    default tape drive.  At the end of the file are two lines used
    by K50; delete or modify these as desired.

 7. Edit MAG.HLP, changing all references to MFA0 to reflect your
    default tape drive, and changing two lines near the top with
    data from item (2) above.  You may delete the second such line
    if you do not use the Xerox 9700.

 8. Rebuild MAG.HLB from MAG.HLP, by using a command like:

      $ LIBRARY /HELP /CREATE  dev:[dir]MAG.HLB  dev:[dir]MAG.HLP

    Then see item (3) above.

 9. Integrate MAG.CLD into your system-wide command tables.

10. Integrate MAG.HLP into your system-wide local help library.

11. The source of MAG comprises the files MAG.FOR and MAG.CLT.  If
    MAG is LINKed, it needs the object library NSWC1LIB.OLB to re-
    solve external references.  BLDMAG.COM will do this.  (You
    should not need to do this).

12. MAG can now handle tape blocks up to 65536 bytes long.  How-
    ever, if blocks longer than a default value are to be used,
    the user must invoke MAG as:

		$ MAG /BUFFER=size

    The delivered default is 10000 bytes.  If you desire to change
    this default value, you must edit the files MAG.CLD, MAG.HLP,
    and MAG.DOC, replacing 10000 with your new value.
