2.1 Download

You may download the software over the Internet from the SMART ALEC DOWNLOAD TRAY server:

http://www.smart-alec.com/DownloadTray/X-Software

If you downloaded the installation file in parts, use one of the following commands for concatenating the parts:

cat installation_file.Z.* > installation_file.Z
cat installation_file.gz.* > installation_file.gz
cat installation_file.bz2.* > installation_file.bz2

Should your download manager remove the file extension without actually uncompressing the installation file, rename the file using one of the commands:

mv installation_file installation_file.Z
mv installation_file installation_file.gz
mv installation_file installation_file.bz2

You uncompress the compressed installation file using one of the commands

uncompress installation_file.Z
gunzip installation_file.gz
bunzip2 installation_file.bz2

in the /tmp directory of your computer.

You need the access rights of the Superuser root for installation.

For continuous use of the software you need also the separate product X-LICENSE, which is free of charge.

2.2 Installation directories

If you follow the manual, the files are installed into different directories dependent on the architecture. The directory $XPOSEXRECORD_HOME takes the files which may be shared between machines of same architecture, whereas the directory $XPOSEXRECORD_ETC contains host specific files like license files:


Architecture	Installation directories
Architecture	$XPOSEXRECORD_HOME	$XPOSEXRECORD_ETC
Hewlett-Packard HP-UX	/opt/XSOposexrecord	/etc/opt/XSOposexrecord
Hewlett-Packard Tru64 UNIX	/usr/opt/XSOposexrecord	/etc/opt/XSOposexrecord
IBM AIX	/usr/Xposexrecord	/usr/Xposexrecord/etc
Linux	/opt/XSOposexrecord	/etc/opt/XSOposexrecord
SGI IRIX	/usr/Xposexrecord	/usr/Xposexrecord/etc
Sun Solaris	/opt/XSOposer	/etc/opt/XSOposer

Throughout the whole manual the variables $XPOSEXRECORD_HOME and $XPOSEXRECORD_ETC refer to these directories, respectively.

The following table shows all components of the software:


File	Usage
Installation directory $XPOSEXRECORD_HOME
bin/	executable files
bin/xposexrecord	shell script for executing ...
bin/_xposexrecord	... the real xposexrecord program
bin/xposextool	shell script for executing ...
bin/_xposextool	... the POSE recording configuration tool
bin/xvx	shell script for executing ...
bin/_xvx	... the virtual X Window server
bin/startXvxPose	shell script for executing ...
bin/_startXvxPose	... the script for virtual X11 sessions
bin/copyRgb	shell script for copying color definitions
bin/rgb	program for generating color definition files
bin/makeKeyboardMapping	shell script for generating a keyboard mapping
bin/gzip	(un-)compression program for recording files
bin/uninstall	script for uninstalling
share/	architecture independent files
share/copyright	license terms
share/manual	manual in HTML and Portable Document Format
share/fonts/GUI	font files for graphical user interfaces
share/fonts/X	font files for the virtual X Window server
Installation directory $XPOSEXRECORD_ETC
xmultimedia_profiles	profiles for multimedia devices and programs
rgb/	color data base for the virtual X Window server

Before executing a program, please read the license terms in the file

$XPOSEXRECORD_HOME/share/copyright

or the appropriate license file.

If you choose to install the files into other directories, you have to adjust all shell scripts correspondingly.
