How do I Install the Software on MSM-Workstation?

Applies to: VC/m, RE/m, RE/data and RE/parser

Follow the installation instructions as given in the manual, with these additional points:

Implementation Specific Code

For RE/m, in the section headed "Implementation Specific Code" you are instructed to issue a ZL command followed by a ZS command. In the WS Command Window these must be issued on a single line, since the routine buffer is emptied after each line. Issue the following command:

>ZL re000msm ZS re000

For RE/data and VC/m, when you run the installation routine, choose "Micronetics MSM" or "InterSystems MSM" from the list of M implementations.

Before Running Setup for the First Time

Just before running the setup program (RESETUP, %VCSETUP or setup from the VC/m menu), issue an extra command:

>U 0:0

Correcting the Line-Draw Characters

The line-draw characters won't display correctly. This is because of a limitation of WS's terminal emulation. Here's how to overcome it:

  1. In the setup program, choose Device Types (called Devices on the RE/data menu), then Copy. Copy from DEFAULT to a new definition called MSMWS.

  2. Choose Add/Modify and enter MSMWS. Go down to "Set Graphics Mode" and enter the following three numbers, separated by commas: 27,40,48.

  3. Move on to "Set text mode" and enter the following three numbers, separated by commas: 27,40,66.

  4. Keep pressing Enter until you return to the menu line (you should also see an "Updated" message on the lower right).

  5. Choose Exit to go back a level in the menu. Then pick Terminals, then Add/Modify. Enter 31 at the first prompt (this is $IO of the WS Command Window). Set Device Type to MSMWS, then enter the following text in "Open parameters":

    (0::::64:::::::6226)

    For RE/data, enter the following text in "Use parameters:"

    (0::::64)

  6. Press Enter until you get back to the menu line, then Exit from the program completely.

  7. Quit from the Command Window, then open it again from Tools\Command Window.
