This gives instructions for system installation. If you are upgrading to \capa\ version 5.0, print the file {\sl UPGRADE.txt} instead and follow those instructions for a system upgrade. 31: \item When checking your permissions with those given in either the {\sl UPGRADE.txt} file or {\sl README.txt} file, be informed that your file sizes may differ. 32: \item {\bf Some Notes:} 33: \begin{itemize} 34: \item The \LaTeX{} and dvi programs must be properly installed on the host 35: machine in order for {\sf Quizzer} to format the problem sets. 36: See your system administrator for help in installing these programs. 37: \item For a broad range of terminal emulators to be able to access the 38: system\footnote{by G. Perkins, MSU Physics-Astronomy Dept.}, it is necessary to modify the 39: {\tt /etc/termcap} file to accommodate the appropriate vt100 \label{vtEmul} 40: terminal attributes, including handling non-standard nomenclature used by 41: terminal emulation programs on Macs and PCs. A notable example is the widely 42: used {\it tn} program that is part of FTP Software, Inc.'s PC/TCP package. This 43: program negotiates its terminal type with the host computer using the prefix 44: {\tt dec-} 45: for the {\tt vt} family of terminals ({\it e.g.,} it requests terminal type 46: {\tt dec-vt100} instead of {\tt vt100}). This prefix, if unknown to the Unix 47: host, may cause the negotiation to result in an incorrect terminal type or to 48: fail completely. 49: \newpage 50: The line in the standard {\tt /etc/termcap} file that reads: \\ \\ 51: {\tt d0|vt100|vt100-am|vt100am|dec vt100:$\backslash$ } \\ \\ 52: should be edited to read:\\ \\ 53: {\tt d0|vt100|vt100-am|vt100am|dec-vt100|dec vt100:$\backslash$ } \\ \\ 54: thereby establishing {\tt dec-vt100} as an official synonym for {\tt vt100}. 55: Note that the ``{\tt dec-vt100}'' entry is different from the ``{\tt dec vt100}'' 56: entry. We advise adding the new alias rather than changing the existing alias 57: and possibly causing other problems. 58: A similar change can be made on other operating systems which use the 59: {\tt /etc/termcap} method of terminal definition. Unix systems using the 60: {\it terminfo} program instead will support similar minor changes to the 61: appropriate file or files in the {\tt /usr/lib/terminfo} directory tree (consult 62: your system administrator for details). Be prepared to make similar changes in 63: case other terminal emulation programs at your site use their own non-standard 64: terminal type nomenclature. 65: \end{itemize} 66: 67: \item The \capa\ system should now be completely installed. We recommend 68: taking the guided tour, skimming through the manual, and reading about the 69: \capa\ functions before coding problems and building sets. 70: 71: \end{itemize} 72:
