Getting started with your downloaded kit
Start by downloading an appropriate Advanced Printing Software
kit. The kits are supplied as compressed tar archives that
contain both software and documentation. Store the tar.Z
file in a convenient directory, such as /usr/opt/. From the
root account, create a subdirectory for holding the kit files,
then set your current directory to it. For example,
# mkdir /usr/opt/apx120kit
# cd /usr/opt/apx120kit
Now, extract the kit files from the compressed tar archive.
# zcat /usr/opt/apx120.tar.Z | tar xvf -
This command causes the zcat(1) utility to uncompress
and send the archive to the tar(1) utility; tar extracts
the files in to appropriate subdirectories.
After you extract the kit files, you should find documentation
under Advanced_Printing/doc, and software subsets
under Advanced_Printing/kit. Documentation files are
organized into subdirectories that contain HTML, pdf (Adobe's
Portable Document Format), and PostScript. The Advanced
Printing Software Installation Guide is available for
viewing or printing under the doc directory. Refer
to that guide for information about installation requirements
and procedure.
Once you have installed the BASE subset, you will find
up-to-date information about the release in /usr/pd/README.txt.
