                        SISCAD-P  Installation  Guide


This document describes the installation and configuration of SISCAD-P ver-
sion 2.0.0 for Linux.  For a successful installation and configuration, superuser
privileges  (root)  and  basic  knowledge  of  Linux  (e.g.  user  setup,  print  spooler
setup, ..  )  is required.
1      Requirements


SISCAD-P needs the following hard- and software requirements:


    o  Architecture:  INTEL 80486/Pentium
       PC's equipped with INTEL CPU's at least 80486/25 MHz are suited for
       running  SISCAD-P.  Even  more  important  than  the  CPU  may  be  the
       amount  of  installed  memory.   So  it  might  occur,  that  SISCAD-P  run-
       ning  on  a  Pentium  90  MHz  with  8  MB  of  memory  may  perform  lower
       than on a 80486/66 MHz equipped with 32 MB of memory.


    o  Main memory:  min.  16 MB, recommended 32 MB
       SISCAD-P is a very complex program which requires at least 16 MB of
       memory.  If you plan to design larger drawings 24 MB or even 32 MB are
       recommended.  If you like to test SISCAD-P on a PC with less than 16
       MB, remember to install enough swap-space.


    o  Harddisk space:  ca.  30 MB
       SISCAD-P  needs  about  30  MB  of  disk  space;  the  size  depends  on  the
       packages installed.
       (see section Distribution Packages - Size of Packages)


    o  Linux kernel:  version   1.0
       Beginning with the kernel version 1.0, Linux is very reliable and suited for
       professional  use.   Therefore  SISCAD-P  should  run  on  any  Linux  kernel
       version greater 1.0 regarding the other requirements described above.


    o  Window-System:  X11R6
       SISCAD-P was compiled with the X11R6 libraries and therefore it needs
       X11R6 at runtime.


    o  Window manager:  fvwm, mwm
       SISCAD-P  is  a  OSF/Motif  program  but  it  does  not  necessarily  require
       OSF/Motif  window  manager  at  runtime.   Other  window  managers,  for
       instance fvwm, are suited as well.  When installed the OSF/Motif window
       manager mwm of course can also be used.



                                                      2


The  complete  SISCAD-P  documentation  is  available  as  HTML1  or  as  Post-
Script document.  To view or print these documents you need the following:


    o  WWW Browser
       To  online  read  the  HTML  documents  you  need  a  WWW2 -Browser  (e.g.
       Mosaic, Netscape, Chimera, Arena).  This WWW-Browser is not part of
       the SISCAD-P distribution and must be installed separately.


    o  PostScript printer
       To  print  the  PostScript  documentation  you  need  a  printer  which  under-
       stands the PostScript language or a printer which in conjunction with a
       driver/filter program (e.g.  Ghostscript) understands PostScript language
       too.

2      Distribution  Packages


Due to the huge size, SISCAD-P is splitted into several packages.


Each package contains several files which are archived and compressed with the
standard tar(1) and gzip(1) commands.  The name of the compressed archive
has the following structure:


       sis<name  of  package>-X.Y.Z.tar.gz


In this scheme X = version, Y = major  release and Z = minor  release .
Additional  information  characterizing  the  contents  of  the  package  are  added
after the sign '_'.


The following packages are available:


   1.  SISCAD-P README - (siscadp_README-2.0.0.tar.gz)
       Contains  useful  information  about  SISCAD-P  which  help  to  find  out
       what  other  packages  and  requirements  are  needed  to  successfully  install
       SISCAD-P.  The  documents  are  available  in  both  languages  English  and
       German.


   2.  SISCAD-P PROGRAM - (siscadp-2.0.0.tar.gz)
       Contains the complete SISCAD-P program package with all system files
       needed to run both the English and German version.


   3.  SISCAD-P EXAMPLES - (siscadp_red-2.0.0.tar.gz)
       Contains additional SISCAD-P example drawings.


   4.  SISDOC ONLINE - (sisdoc_XX_html-2.0.0.tar.gz)
       Contains  the  german  (XX  =  de)  resp.   english  (XX  =  en)  SISCAD-P
       online documentation.


   5.  SISDOC PAPER - (sisdoc_XX_ps-2.0.0.tar.gz)
       Contains  the  german  (XX  =  de)  resp.   english  (XX  =  en)  SISCAD-P
       PostScript documentation.

3      Installation


Before  installing  SISCAD-P  make  sure  that  all  requirements  for  your  system
are fulfilled.


Important:  By installing SISCAD-P you agree with the conditions described in the
document SISCAD-P Copyright & License Agreement.



3.1      SISCAD-P  Program


To install the SISCAD-P program package login as root and execute the follo-
wing commands:


   1.  cd  /tmp
       Change to the temporary installation directory /tmp.
       Make sure that there is enough disk space for the compressed SISCAD-P
       program package (df-command).



       Notice:  If there is not enough space in this filesystem make a new temporary
       directory  in  a  filesystem  where  disk  space  is  available  and  change  to  this  new
       created directory.


   2.  tar  xvMf  /dev/fd0
       Execute the command above3  several times to copy the packages


              SISCAD-P README
              SISCAD-P PROGRAM
              SISCAD-P EXAMPLES


       to your hard disk drive.
       Before executing the command insert the first floppy disk of the package
       in the floppy drive (if necessary use (/dev/fd1) instead).  Insert the other
       floppies in the corresponding order as requested.


   3.  tar  xzvf  siscadp_README-2.0.0.tar.gz  install
       Use  this  command  to  extract  the  install  script  from  the  SISCAD-P
       README package.

To  install  the  documents  above,  login  as  root  and  execute  the  following  com-
mands:


   1.  mkdir  /usr/sisdoc
       Create a new directory for the documents.

       Notice: If you like to install the documents into another place (e.g. /home/sisdoc),
       create a symbolic link with the following command


              ln  -s  /home/sisdoc  /usr/sisdoc


       to be able to start the SISCAD-P documentation from within SISCAD-P.


   2.  cd  /usr/sisdoc
       Change to the documentation directory, just created.

_____________________________________________4
     Sorry, at time these documents are available in German language only.



                                                      6


Execute the following commands for both packages:


   3.  tar  xvMf  /dev/fd0
       This command copies the packages


              SISCAD-P SISDOC  resp.
              SISCAD-P PAPER


       from floppy disks to your harddisk.
       Before starting the command insert the corresponding disks in the right
       order in your floppy drive /dev/fd0 (or /dev/fd1 instead).


   4.  tar  xzvf  sisdoc_en_html-2.0.0.tar.gz resp.
       tar  xzvf  sisdoc_en_ps-2.0.0.tar.gz
       Extract the files from the corresponding packages.

       Notice: If the compressed documents are not needed any longer, you can remove
       them from your harddisk with the following command:


              rm  sisdoc_en_html-2.0.0.tar.gz  resp. sisdoc_en_ps-2.0.0.tar.gz


You now should be able to print out the documents or view them online with
a WWW browser of your choice by selecting the URL5


       file://localhost/usr/sisdoc/roadmap_en/roadmap_en.html


To save space on your harddisk, you can remove the PostScript files (extension
.ps) after printing them.

4      SISCAD-P  Environment  Setup


The SISCAD-P PROGRAM package contains some startup-files (e.g..fvwmrc,
.mwmrc, ..  )  adapted for the work with SISCAD-P.
These files will be copied to the users HOME directory at the first time when
SISCAD-P is started or in case of an upgrade.


To achieve this do the following:
       Login as normal user (not as root) and execute the following command:


              /usr/bin/siscadp


       Logout now.  After logging in again, you can start SISCAD-P from your
       window-managers menu or by typing siscadp on your command line.



       Notice:

       During the start of SISCAD-P it will be checked6 whether the private SISCAD-P
       user environment should be set up or not.  This setup is done by calling the script
       /usr/siscadp/exe/setup_user.
       Running this script,  startup files already existing will be replaced and the old
       files will be renamed to OLD_NAME.Ascending_Number.
       On this way private files will never be lost.



       Example:  An  existing  file  .fvwmrc  will  be  moved  to  .fvwmrc.1.  In  case  that
       .fvwmrc.1 already exists, .fvwmrc would be moved to .fvwmrc.2 and so on.


In addition to these startup files, some other subdirectories in $ HOME/siscadp
will be created at the first time starting SISCAD-P.
These  directories  will  contain  your  private  SISCAD-P  files  and  your  private
SISCAD-P configuration files which will be described in the next section.

5      SISCAD-P  Environment  Configuration


After installing and setting up the environment, SISCAD-P is ready for work.
The behavior and look and feel of SISCAD-P, however, can be adapted to your
own needs by different ways.  To do this, you need some UNIX-knowledge and
skills to work with a text editor like vi or emacs.



5.1      SISCAD-P  Configuration  Files


The following 3 configuration files are available:


    o  siscadp.def = SISCAD-P Defaults


    o  siscad.env = SISCAD-P Environment


    o  plotstr.sys = Printer- & Plotter-Driver


The file siscadp.def  defines SISCAD-P defaults like colors, position of windows,
fonts etc.


The  file  siscad.env  defines  a  series  of  directories  in  which  SISCAD-P  should
search for different types of files like drawings, icons, bills of materials etc.


The file plotstr.sys defines the output devices.  It will be described in detail in
the section Printer and Plotter Configuration at page 13.


During the start of SISCAD-P these configuration files will be evaluated and
searched on 3 different locations:


   1.  $ SISCAD_HOME/sys



       Definition:


              SISCAD_HOME is the logical home directory of SISCAD-P which
              always corresponds to /usr/siscadp.


       This directory contains the SISCAD-P standard configuration files.  These
       files should never be changed.



       Notice:  siscad.env in this directory is always evaluated while siscadp.def resp.
       plotstr.sys only when these files do not exist in the directories described below.
                                                      9


   2.  $ GLOBAL_HOME/sys



       Definition:


              GLOBAL_HOME is the logical SISCAD-P directory in a networ-
              ked environment on which several SISCAD-P users should have
              access.
              As  default  it  corresponds  to  /home/siscadp  which  usually  is  a
              directory mounted via NFS7 .


       If running SISCAD-P in a networked environment, this directory should
       contain an adapted copy of plotstr.sys and siscadp.def which are valid for
       all SISCAD-P users working on this network.
       In  this  directory  siscad.env  should  contain  only  definitions  which  differ
       from the standard definitions of siscad.env in the $ SISCAD_HOME/sys di-
       rectory.

       Notice:  The files siscadp.def and plotstr.sys will be evaluated here only if these
       files do not exist in the directory $ PRIVAT_HOME/sys .
   3.  $ PRIVAT_HOME/sys



       Definition:


              PRIVAT_HOME is the logical SISCAD-P directory for the indi-
              vidual SISCAD-P user.
              As default it corresponds to the directory $ HOME/siscadp which
              will be created in the users home directory when SISCAD-P will
              be started at the first time.


       Configuration files in this directory have the highest priority.



       If the files siscadp.def and plotstr.sys will exist on this directory, they will
       be evaluated regardless of their existence in other directories.
       The file siscad.env should contain only definitions which differ from defini-
       tions made in the corresponding files in the directories $ SISCAD_HOME/sys
       resp.  $GLOBAL_HOME/sys.

5.3      SISCAD-P  Environment  Configuration  Example


Lets assume you would like to work with the WWW browser arena.


Besides,  you'd  like  that  your  private  drawings  in  the  Drawing  Management
Menu should be displayed first.


To realize this, first create the file siscad.env in the directory $ PRIVAT_HOME/sys
with the following contents:

       WWWBROWSER=arena  ;  export  WWWBROWSER


Afterwards modify the corresponding section in the file siscadp.def.  Instead of:

       SIScadP*SYS_KATALOG_RedBibliothek1:         SISCAD_RED
       SIScadP*SYS_KATALOG_RedBibliothek2:         GLOBAL_RED
       SIScadP*SYS_KATALOG_RedBibliothek3:         PRIVAT_RED

now it should be:

       SIScadP*SYS_KATALOG_RedBibliothek1:         PRIVAT_RED
       SIScadP*SYS_KATALOG_RedBibliothek2:         GLOBAL_RED
       SIScadP*SYS_KATALOG_RedBibliothek3:         SISCAD_RED

Please take in mind, that SISCAD-P may hang in case of erroneous or missing
statements in the configuration files.8



_____________________________________________8
     Therefore, in case of upgrades siscadp.def in your local resp.  global sys-directory will be
upgraded too. Analog to the startup-files, existing files will be saved in that case.



                                                     12


6      Printer  and  Plotter  Setup


To print or plot your drawings, SISCAD-P offers several device drivers.  These
drivers can be divided into 3 categories:


    o  Direct drivers for different types of printers - (met2bit)


    o  PostScript drivers for PostScript printers - (met2ps)


    o  Plotter drivers for different types of plotters - (met2hpgl)


The  configuration  of  the  corresponding  drivers  will  be  made  in  the  file  plot-
str.sys in your valid sys-directory9 .


This file describes which device is available to the SISCAD-P user and which
command is used to output the data.


The following extract of plotstr.sys explains the format for these drivers:

       #  -----------------
       #  Format  definition
       #  -----------------
       #
       #  each  driver  section  contains  5  lines
       #
       #  1.  line:  driver  name  showed  in  the  SISCAD-P  plot  menu
       #
       #  2.  line:  defines  whether  the  driver  name   in  the  SISCAD-P  plot  menu
       #              appears  or  not.
       #  3.  line:  defines  whether  parameters  are  required  or  not
       #
       #  4.  line:  space  separated  driver  parameters  resp.  dummy  string  if
       #              no  params  required
       #  5.  line:  printer  queue  name
       #
       #  Example:
       #  --------
       #  LaserJet4      :  driver  name  as  shown  in  the  SISCAD-P  plot  menu
       #  1                 :  driver  should  appear  in  the  SISCAD-P  plot  menu;  0=no  1=yes
       #  1                 :  number  of  required  parameters
       #  -dHPLJ4         :  required  parameter
       #  DRUCKER         :  printer  queue  name
       #

Whether a special driver should be active or not, insert a 1 or 0 in the second
line of corresponding driver section.

To transmit the data to the spool system, the shell script sislpr will be called
as follows:


       $ cadexe/sislpr PRINTER_QUEUE_NAME FILENAME


This  command  starts  a  printer  job  which  is  managed  by  the  standard  UNIX
spool system.10


The spool system must be configured in a way that the following printer queues
should be available:


    o  DRUCKER - normal printer


    o  PSDRUCKER - PostScript printer


    o  PLOTTER - plotter


The  package  apsfilter  from  Andreas  Klemm11  allows  you  to  easy  configure
your lpr spool system.  After configuring the spool system with this package,
you  only  need  to  make  some  simple  changes  in  /etc/printcap  to  define  queue
names as required by SISCAD-P. The following examples shows the required
changes:


Example (Changes to file /etc/printcap)



       before:


                         lp|LN03  PostScript  Laser:\
                                        :
                                        :
                         raw|lp9|st800-a4-raw|st800  auto  raw:\
                                        :
                                        :


       afterwards:


                         lp|PSDRUCKER|LN03  PostScript  Laser:\
                                        :
                                        :
                         raw|DRUCKER|st800-a4-raw|st800  auto  raw:\
                                        :
                                        :


For  further  information  about  configuring  your  printer  spool  system  have  a
look to the corresponding documentations (e.g.  documentation of the apsfilter
package, Printing-HOWTO etc.)

     sislpr uses the command lpr  -PPRINTER_QUEUE_NAME to put the data into the cor-
responding queue.
