First of all, I want to apologize for not including the read.me file. There
is a technical new letter which includes the installation procedure shipped
with the tape.

Below is the installation procedures which should be included in the read.me
file.

1. logon as or su to root.
2. un-tar the tar file from tape.
     tar -xvf <device>
   where <device> the your special file for tape drive. Such as: /dev/rmt/0m.
3. cd to /usr/adsm directory and run dsm.install.
4. create dsm.sys file and default dsm.opt file within /usr/adsm directory.

We don't suggest you to put ADSM to another directory. If you really have
the need to put ADSM into another directory, you can move all of the files
within /usr/adsm to the new directory and then run dsm.install again. But
now, every user who wants to run ADSM has to set DSM_DIR environment variable
to points to the new directory and DSM_CONFIG to points to the dsm.opt file.
Also the move will work for first time only. If you move ADSM code again, after
you run dsm.install, you will have to manually go into DSMX and change the path
for the icon file and bitmap files.

I hope I did not confuse anyone, even though my intention was to clarify
something.

Have a nice weekend.
