System Disc (/System) Release 5.0.2 Part No. 00095-12081 (copyright Hewlett Packard Co., 1985, 1986) Introduction ------------ This disc contains files which may be of use to you for optional equipment and application software available for the HP Integral PC. Also included are some simple upgrade procedures for application s/w you may have purchased from HP for the earlier operating system release (HP-UX/RO 1.0.0). Hewlett-Packard has made every attempt to make this operating system upgrade as easy and natural as possible. Most application discs will run "as is" without need for change. Also included are HP-UX Operating System enhancements and a subdirectory of contributed utilities. The contributed utilities includes a variety of fun and useful programs. For more details regarding the contributed utilities see the README file in the /System/contrib folder. Contents -------- A set of loadable s/w drivers and operating system enhancements are provided on this disc. The following is a list of the files found on this disc relating to supported programs or operating system enhancements. Autost An Autost script. This is a simple Autost routine which may be modified to suit your individual needs. load_modem Program used to load the s/w driver for the 82915A 300/1200 bps Modem Card. load_modem requires the data file modem.data for proper execution. modem.data Data file for the `load_modem' program. load_modem.doc Manual page for `load_modem' utility. Located in `documents' folder. load_plot Program used to load the s/w driver for HP plotters connected through the Serial Interface. For use with the OS Release 5.0.0 ROM set only. Note that all applications which use serial plotters will work regardless of whether this enhancement is effected. However running the load_plot program can result in performance improvements when using a serial plotter. load_plot reuires the data file plot.data to properly execute. plot.data Data file for the `load_plot' program. load_plot.doc Manual page for `load_plot' utility. Located in `documents' folder. load_hpgl Program to correct a defect in the HPGL window type. This program effectively corrects a minor defect in the PR (plot relative) HPGL command when it is sent to a plotter emulator window. load_hpgl depends on the related files hpgl.data, dload, and hp-ux.5.0.0 to properly execute. hpgl.data Data file for the 'load_hpgl" program. load_hpgl.doc Documentation for the load_hpgl program. Located in `documents' folder. dload Program that is used by the 'load_hpgl" program. hp-ux.5.0.0 Data file for the 'load_hpgl' program. prep_sys_5.0 Program to correct minor defects in the HP-UX OS Release 5.0.0 for the Integral PC. prep_sys.doc Document detailing the defects corrected by prep_sys_5.0. This file is found in the documents folder. documents Folder including more detailed documents regarding the Operating System enhancements found on this disc. contrib Folder including useful utilities and games. Operation --------- Programs on this disc whose names are prefixed with `load_' effect enhancements in the HP-UX/RT Operating System. Each can be executed by simply typing the program name to PAM, or by highlighting the program name and pressing [Start] (ie., the key [f1]). Each program will create a window and indicate when the loading operation is complete and the driver is ready for use. All manual pages have the suffix `.doc' . Manual pages can viewed or printed by using the PAM view or print command, or by simply directing the manual page to the printer (e.g., 'load_modem.doc >/dev/lp'). Copying Files ------------- Although, the `load_...' utilities can be used directly from this disc, you may find it useful to copy them to other discs depending upon your application. This is easily accomplished by using the copy command in PAM. When copying a 'load_..." utility, be sure to also copy the appropriate data file. For example, to copy the software for the modem card to a new disc, you must copy both the `load_modem' and the `modem.data' files. The manual page for each utility lists the associated files required for that utility to operate. The manual page file, itself, need not be copied. DATACOMM and MODEM Product Upgrade ---------------------------------- The DATACOMM disc which comes with the MODEM product contains loadable s/w drivers for both the SERIAL and MODEM cards. The HP-UX/RO 5.0 release contains the serial driver in ROM, thus no change is required for SERIAL card users. The MODEM driver, however, which is supplied on this disc has been upgraded to operate with both operating system releases, (version 1.0 and version 5.0). To upgrade your DATACOMM disc for modem, copy the `load_modem' and `modem.data' files to your working DATACOMM disc. Then proceed as normal. See "Copying Files" discussion immediately above.
