README for MVS Gopher Client and Server, Version 2, Release 2
August 9, 1993
FTP the appropriate distribution file to your MVS system first.
If you have a C compiler, then use.... gopher.ggmvs.distrib.cntl.v2r2
If you don't have a C compiler, use... gopher.ggmvs.distobj.cntl.v2r2
Use something like the following:
To FTP gopher.ggmvs.distrib.cntl.v2r2 (source distribution):
ftp boombox.micro.umn.edu
anonymous
password@myhost.mydomain
cd /pub/gopher/mvs
get gopher.ggmvs.distrib.cntl.v2r2 GOPHER.DISTRIB.CNTL
quit
To FTP gopher.ggmvs.distobj.cntl.v2r2 (object distribution):
ftp boombox.micro.umn.edu
anonymous
password@myhost.mydomain
cd /pub/gopher/mvs
binary
locsite recfm=fb lrecl=80 blksize=6160
get gopher.ggmvs.distobj.cntl.v2r2 GOPHER.DISTOBJ.CNTL
quit
Please note that the *source* distribution is stored as a
RECFM=VB LRECL=259 file, to save space and speed up file transfer.
The *object* distribution is stored as RECFM=FB LRECL=80 because
there's no other way to store combination EBCDIC and object text
in a binary file.
Either of these is one large JCL stream that executes the IEBUPDTE
utility to build several PDS's. These PDS's are:
GOPHER.INSTALL.CNTL JCL to complete the build, readmes, miscellany
GOPHER.INSTALL.CLIST CLISTs and REXX execs for client and server
GOPHER.INSTALL.PANEL ISPF panels for the client
GOPHER.INSTALL.ABOUT The "About This Gopher" text library
GOPHER.INSTALL.OBJ Object modules *** OBJECT DISTRIBUTION ONLY ***
GOPHER.INSTALL.H C headers *** SOURCE DISTRIBUTION ONLY ***
GOPHER.INSTALL.C C source *** SOURCE DISTRIBUTION ONLY ***
You can modify the job to generate a different prefix for the names
if you don't want to call them GOPHER.INSTALL.*. You'll need to
provide your own JOB card, too. Other than that, the JCL is ready
to run (from ISPF EDIT, anyway). If you run into problems submitting
a RECFM=VB file, copy the file over into a RECFM=FB LRECL=80 data set
and then try it.
Once you've done this, proceed to the $$README file in the .CNTL PDS,
which you can read once the first stage of the unload is done. This
will tell you the rest of the steps to finish building Gopher.
You may install just the client, just the server, or both the
client and the server. It is purely up to what your needs are.
