Installing AskPlus E.8.4.0 Beta Version
- Before starting the installation, you must ensure that AskPlus is not in use.
- The installation loads new files, but does not overwrite the current version of AskPlus.
- Site-specific configuration files (Manager Files and vsrvtcp.ini) will not be overwritten.
1. Login as the askplus user and make sure you are in the /ASKPLUS directory. Type:
login askplus cd /ASKPLUS
2. Transfer the AskPlus distribution file (ASK64_eloq_e840.gz or ASK_eloq_e840.gz) to the host. Use ASK64_eloq_e840 for ITANIUM systems and ASK_eloq_e840 for PA-RISC systems.
- The file must be transferred to the host using a BINARY transfer. Use FTP, or a terminal emulator to transfer the file.
- These instructions assume that the name of the file is ASK64_eloq_ver.gz. Your file will have a different name. Substitute the name of your file (making sure that you use the appropriate case) for ASK64_eloq_ver in these instructions.
3. The file that was transferred in the previous step is a compressed tar file. To uncompress and expand this file, enter these commands:
- Note that some browsers will uncompress the downloaded file automatically, so the gunzip step may not be necessary.
gunzip ASK64_eloq_ver.gz tar -xvf ASK64_eloq_ver
Launching AskPlus
- The new version is installed in the file aske840x.
- This version can be launched by entering:
/ASKPLUS/askplus e840
- To make aske840x the default version, login as askplus and enter:
cp aske840x askplusx
- A previous version can be launch by entering:
/ASKPLUS/askplus e833
- To restore a previous version as the default, login as askplus and enter:
cp aske833x askplusx
Verifying AskPlus
To verify that the beta version has been properly installed, type the following command:
/ASKPLUS/askplus e840
If everything has been properly installed you will see something like this:
PA-Risc Example : Copyright LSWE (c) 1978-2016. Distributed by Vital Soft, Inc. ASKPLUS/Unix E.8.4.0 (32 bits) ready ! Fri Sep 2 16:27:04 2016

Type EXIT, to exit the AskPlus program.
