To install, simply uncompress and tar -x the files in the directory that you wish to place them. $ uncompress mpe.tar.Z $ tar -xvf mpe.tar files in archive: Mpe - unix program which passes commands to the MPE machine mpe - unix script to make the passing easier MPED - MPE Native Mode program (NMPRG) MPEFORK - MPE Native Mode program (spawned by MPED) The unix files Mpe and mpe may be placed in some convenient directory like /usr/bin. You may wish to "chown" and "chgrp" them to your own purposes. Certainly, you should "chmod" them to provide the appropriate execute access. The HP3000 programs, MPED and MPEFORK must be transferred to an appropriate group and account on the HP3000. It doesn't matter where, so long as the group has PH capability and that the two programs are together in the same group. On the HP3000 they will need to be in 128 word, Fixed, Binary files with a file code of NMPRG. If you use WRQ's Reflection product, you can use a command such as: SEND MPED BIN USING "RECSIZE=256;FORMAT=F;BLOCKFACTOR=1;CODE=1030" This will transfer the file as the same name to the current logon group and account. If there are any problems, please contact me directly...

I neglected an instruction needed. The Mpe client needs to find the port number being used by the client. This is typically contained in the /etc/services file on the Unix system. An entry similar to the following should be made: mpe_daemon 32761/tcp # Mpe daemon service Currently, only the unix side interrogates this setting, so the number is fixed. Please let me know if this causes great difficulty. In a latter release I will alter the MPE host to inquire against the services file as well, allowing you to select any (non-priv) port number you wish. Also a new Unix binary has been included, Mpe.1, which you may wish to install in place of the previous Mpe program. The earlier version had been compiled on a 700 workstation, which by default compiles with an architecture switch of PA1.1. My thanks to Stan Sieler for pointing out that this stopped it from running on older PA boxes such as an 835. As the program doesn't use any specific PA1.1 features, it was recompiled with a switch setting allowing it to run on older 1.0 architecture. To install this newer version, after uudecoding this, simply decompress, and "untar" as before, resulting in a new Mpe.1 program file. You can then move this to the location or name you wish.
