• Unix Mosaic users

  If you are on Unix and have used Mosaic to retrieve the file, most likely the uncompression has already been done on the fly for you. Just save the file in your scratch area with its appropriate name (e.g. xas.tar).

• Otherwise on Unix

  uncompress the file with

      cd /scratchdir
      uncompress name.tar.Z

  which gives you name.tar.

• Then install the kit with

      cd $XASTOP
      tar xvf /scratchdir/name.tar 

• You can also combine the two operations in a single one with

      cd $XASTOP 
      zcat /scratchdir/name.tar | tar xvf -

• VMS users

  Assuming you have the LZ compression utility installed in DUA0:[SAX.COMP] do the following to uncompress the save set name.BCK_LZ :

      LZDCM == "$DUA0:[SAX.COMP]LZDCM"
      SET DEF [scratchdir]
      @DUA0:[SAX.COMP]COMP name.BCK

• then use the following command to list the content of the save set

      BACKUP/LIST name.BCK/SAVE_SET

  and note the directory root where the files were backed-up (e.g. DUA0:[somewhere.XAS]; note that this may vary)

• then install the kit with

      SET DEF to $XASTOP
      BACKUP [scratchdir]name.BCK/SAVE_SET/SELECT=DUA0:[somewhere.XAS...]*.* []

• continue with installation
