WRITTEN BY JOHN C. GUNTHER, 4/89 COPYRIGHT 1989 BETZ LABORATORIES, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. This file contains instructions for installing $TERNARY as a private procedure. (Consult the RS/1 System Manager's Guide for how to make private procedures public, should you decide to make $TERNARY available this way.) See the file MANUAL.TXT for information about using the procedure. Requirements: ------------- o You must have version 3.0 or higher of RS/1 installed. o You must have the CONTOURPLOT option of RS/1. (To check this, enter RS/1 and issue the command "MAKE CONTOURPLOT" - if it works, you have the option installed.) Installation: ------------- Step 1: Move files from the PC floppy disk to the VAX directory from which you are going to enter RS/1 in step 2. (The files are source RPL, i.e. ordinary text (ASCII) - any standard file transfer method (i.e. KERMIT) should work with them.) Consult a local expert for help with file transfers. THE NAMES OF THE FILES ON THE VAX SHOULD MATCH THOSE ON THE PC ! Step 2: Enter RS/1 (the directory you are in when you do this should contain the files transferred in step 1) At the "#" prompt, type the following lines: # def of ternini = getfile("TERNINI.RPL") # compile ternini # call ternini IMPORTANT: The above assumes that the names of the files on the PC floppy are the same as those in the VAX directory. This is generally the "default" action for file transfer programs such as KERMIT. Step 3: You can now try the procedure by typing: # CALL $TERNARY At the "#" prompt. See the file MANUAL.TXT for more information. You can also get help at most of the prompts of $TERNARY by entering a "?" in response to the prompt. (Of course, the final arbitrator is always the program (RPL source) itself.) (Note: Do not type type the "#" in the lines above.) Good Luck!

Information Systems 4636 Somerton Road Trevose, PA. 19047 215-355-3300 WARNING: This procedure has been tested, but not fully. It has also not been used much in real practice (it was just written in April, 1989). You will in all likelyhood encounter bugs - hopefully not too serious ones.
