E.1    General Instructions for Installing Associated Products

Follow these steps if you are installing an associated product from either the CD-ROM labeled Digital UNIX V4.0B Associated Products Volume 1 or the CD-ROM labeled Digital UNIX V4.0B Associated Products Volume 2:

1. Mount the CD-ROM. Refer to Section B.3 if you do not know how to mount a CD-ROM.

2. As superuser or root, do one of the following:

   • If you are installing an associated product from the CD-ROM labeled Digital UNIX V4.0B Associated Products Volume 1, do the following:

     # /usr/sbin/setld -l /mnt/ALPHA/product_directory

     The previous example assumes the CD-ROM is mounted under /mnt. Replace product_directory with the name of the directory where the product is located. Table E-1 and Table E-2 list the directory names for each associated product.

     The setld command displays a list of software subsets available to install. Choose the appropriate software subsets from the list.

   • If you are installing an associated product from the CD-ROM labeled Digital UNIX V4.0B Associated Products Volume 2, do the following:

E.7    DECevent Management Utility

The DECevent utility is an event management utility for Digital UNIX operating systems that provides the interface between a system user and the system's event log files. This lets system users produce ASCII reports derived from system event entries. The format of the ASCII reports depends on the command entered on the command line or on the command entered from the graphical user interface (GUI). Command line commands are restricted to 255 characters. Event report information can be filtered by event types, date, time, and event entry numbers. Event report formats can be selected from full disclosure to very brief information messages. The -i (include) and -x (exclude) flags provide a wide range of selection criteria to narrow down the focus of event searches.

The DECevent utility also offers an interactive command shell interface, accessible with the command --int, that recognizes the same commands used at the command line. From the interactive command shell users can customize, change, or save system settings.

DECevent uses the system event log file /usr/adm/binary.errlog as the default input file for event reporting, unless another file is specified. To produce a translated report using the built-in defaults, type the following command at the command line:

# dia

To produce a translated event report using the GUI, click on the translate/auto icon in the DECevent GUI menu bar.

Digital UNIX users need super user privileges to use the translation and reporting features of DECevent, unless the event log file privileges have been changed to let all users read the event log file.

The DEC Fortran for Digital UNIX Alpha Run-Time Support subsets must be installed at the same time as the DEC Pascal for Digital UNIX Alpha Run-Time Support Library subset.

---

E.10    DECtalk Software for Digital UNIX

DECtalk Software for Digital UNIX is a text-to-speech software based on Digital Equipment Corporation's industry-leading text-to-speech synthesis technology.

DECtalk Software lets applications convert standard ASCII text in American English into highly intelligible and natural sounding speech, playable through audio hardware on Alpha workstations.

DECtalk documentation and release notes are loaded into the subdirectories under the /usr/opt/DTKRTDOC420/doc directory when the DTKRTDOC420 software subset is installed. The DECtalk Software User's Guide is available on line in /usr/opt/DTKRT420/docs/html.

The DECtalk Software applications provide reference pages, which are located in the /usr/man/man1 directory. Use the man command to access the following reference pages:

• aclock(1)

• decface(1)

• dectalk(1)

• emacspeak(1)

• mailtalk(1)

• say(1)

• speak(1)

• windict(1)

The DECtalk run-time package is bundled with several sample applications:

• Speak- is a windowed text editor that can read. Controls are provided to pick one of nine different speaking voices and to change speaking rate from a slow 75 words per minute to 600 words per minute. Start and stop controls are provided to control the speech output. Speak can also convert ASCII text into an audio file in WAVE format. For customization of the pronunciation of specialized words or acronyms, Speak can load a custom pronunciation dictionary. These dictionaries are prepared using another application supplied called Windict.

• Windict- is a windowed application that accepts words and their associated phonetic pronunciation. From these lists it compiles a user dictionary that can be used by DECtalk. Windict has a translate function that aids in creating phonetic spellings.

• Say- is a command line command that speaks specified files or text. It enables simple integration of text-to-speech with shell scripts or applications that can generate shell commands. Say can also be used as a text to WAVE file converter.

• Aclock- is a talking clock. Aclock can be set to speak the current time periodically.

• Mailtalk- is a program that notifies users of the arrival of mail messages. It is a speech enabled version of the UNIX biff command. For example when a mail message arrives, mailtalk will say "You have just received a message from John Doe, subject: mailtalk is great!"

• Emacspeak- uses text-to-speech extensively to provide emacs with access for the visually impaired. Emacspeak is context sensitive emacs extension that intelligently reads the contents of the screen rather than just scanning the screen and literally reading characters off the screen.

  Information on how to use emacspeak is provided in files located in subdirectories under the /usr/opt/DTKRT420/emacspeak/docs directory. See also the emacspeak(1) reference page for more information.

• DECface- is a computer-generated, synthetic face that synchronizes facial movements to synthesized speech provided by DECtalk. As DECtalk generates speech, DECface displays the facial expressions of a human actually speaking those words. DECface offers the ability to develop a large variety of new applications by combining the audio functionality of a speech synthesizer with the graphical functionality of a computer-generated face. For example, an audio biff can be simply modified to become a face biff, a talking articulated face. In addition, a synthetic character can give multimedia presentations or monitor a system and report anomalies as a feedback agent. One of the more intriguing possibilities is assisting a user by combining an interactive face with Digital Speech Recognition.

  DECface enhances DECtalk by providing an obvious and immediate visual feedback mechanism. In particular, multimedia projects involving direct user interaction can be enhanced to better attract and maintain the attention of viewers.

  Specific information on how to invoke and use DECface can be found in files located in subdirectories under the /usr/opt/DTKRT420/decface/docs directory. See also the decface(1) reference page for more information.

E.12    Netscape FastTrack Server V2.0

Because the FastTrack Server has its own installation program, instructions on installing this product are different from the instructions for installing the other associated layered products that use setld -l. The Netscape FastTrack Server kit is located on the Digital UNIX Associated Products Volume 1 CD-ROM. To install FastTrack on your system, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the root account on your system.

2. Insert the CD-ROM labeled Digital UNIX Associated Products Volume 1 into your CD-ROM drive and mount the CD-ROM drive as a read-only device. For this example, we will assume that your CD-ROM device is located at /dev/rz4c and that you want to mount it under a preexisting directory called /mnt. The actual device path is system dependent, but the directory under which you want to mount it is your choice.

   # mount -r /dev/rz4c /mnt

3. Change your directory to the FastTrack Server kit directory:

   # cd /mnt/ALPHA/Netscape_FastTrack_Server

4. Read the readme.txt file:

   # more readme.txt

   This readme.txt file contains information from Netscape about the FastTrack Server kit. Because you will be installing FastTrack from the Digital UNIX Associated Products Volume 1 CD-ROM, and not from a CD-ROM that was shipped to you by Netscape, you can ignore Steps 1 through 5 of the installation instructions contained in the readme.txt file. Steps 1 through 5 are installation instructions specific to installing from the Netscape CD-ROM.

5. Run the ns-setup installation program to begin the installation process, and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file:

   # ./ns-setup

   The installation program will query you for information and then install the FastTrack Server software under a directory on your system that you have specified. The Netscape installation program recommends /usr/ns-home as a default installation location, but Digital recommends that you choose a default location of /usr/opt/ns-home instead. A directory created under /usr/opt is typically a more suitable place than a directory directly under /usr for software (like FastTrack Server) that creates and writes to files in its installed area while it is running.
