The Supervisor Series is distributed as VMS_SHARE'd, MFTU'ed, LZDCMP'ed
savesets.  You will need the FILESERV_TOOLS to unpack the savesets.
You can get them by sending the following command in the body of a mail
message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET

SEND FILESERV_TOOLS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few gotchas about installing the Supervisor Series v5.1 (I *knew*
something would pop up):

  1.  The ADVISE command conflicts with VPA's ADVISE.  If you have
      VPA, *don't* add the ADVISE/OBSERVE commands to DCLTABLES.

      Notice that the default is NO for installing them in DCLTABLES.
      I recommend that you define foreign symbols for it.

  2.  The OBSERVE CLD file (OBSADV.CLD) has a type: the image name
      given is OBSERVE.EXE; it should be OBSERVER.EXE.  You can either
      rename the image to OBSERVE, or, better, modify the .CLD file
      (SUPSER_ROOT:[EXE]OBSADV.CLD) and re-SET COMMAND it to replace
      it in DCLTABLES.EXE.

  3.  The /QUIET option requires that SECURITY privilege be an
      *authorized* privilege, not just a default.  I didn't notice
      this until last night.  I will be changing it to either check
      for a default privilege or use an identifier for /QUIET.

  4.  When installing, do not use a concealed logical name for the
      device name.  I'd recommend just always using the *real* device
      name (DUA0:[SUPSER], for example).  Something like
      SYS$SYSROOT:[SUPSER] will cause the installation to fail.

  5.  ADVISOR and OBSERVER should be installed with WORLD privilege.
      You can add it to the priv list in SUPSER_ROOT:[COM]SUPSER_STARTUP.COM,
      if you're installing them.

Sorry for the hassles.  I'll be correcting all of these things in the
next release (either v5.2 or a sub-release of v5.1).
