PRAGMA ONLY
-
Download the appropriate Pragma package to a known directory. We recommend:
-
C:\ for Windows
-
/ for SCO UNIX
-
/tmp for Linux
For non-Linux systems you will also need a security
block or dongle supplied by CustomWare Designs. The dongle plugs into the parallel
(printer - female 25 pin) port. A printer may be plugged into the dongle.
For non-SCO UNIX systems you can run in
Demonstration Mode without the dongle but not for very long.
For Linux systems you will need
a key code supplied by CustomWare Designs
but you can run in Demonstration Mode but not for very long.
installp (fresh) Pragma 4 files may be downloaded
here.

SCO UNIX
MS-DOS/WINDOWS
LINUX
-
You must be logged in as "root".
-
You should have downloaded
LinuxP4D.zip
to the /tmp directory.
-
You should have downloaded
linuxinst
file to the /tmp directory.
-
Key in:
-
cd /tmp
-
chmod 111 linuxinst
-
./linuxinst
The following items will be created and/or installed
(black=program or system file):
DIRECTORY OR PROGRAM |
FILE INSTALLED/COMMENTS |
PERMISSIONS |
/usr/pragma
(directory) |
Directory where "fresh" Pragma files are stored as well as the Pragma
Key files. |
777 rwxrwxrwx |
/usr/pragma/PragmaIdNo |
The program that creates your system's information for the Pragma
Key code. |
111 --x--x--x |
/usr/lib/terminfo
(directory) |
Directory where the terminal information is stored |
666 rw-rw-rw- |
/usr/lib/terminfo/terminfo.lbs |
The file which contains the terminal information. |
666 rw-rw-rw- |
/usr/bin/pragma |
Program that you may run to get to the START message. |
111 --x--x--x |
The pragma directory (permissions = 777 rwxrwxrwx) should have in it (all
permissions 666 rw-rw-rw-):
-
PRVOCAB.PFM
-
PRMSG.PFM
-
PRMSG2.PFM
-
PRAREF.PFM
-
PRAREF2.PFM
-
PRSTD.PFM
-
PRADES.PFM
-
PREDIT.DES
-
pragma.des
These files may be the same as the original Windows files (if copying
from existing Pragma applications). They may be copied via ftp or CDROM.
Copying using Windows Explorer has not been verified.
After navigating to your Pragma directory, you should be able to type
in, "pragma" and come to START. You will now run Pragma in DEMO mode.
Notes:
The "pragma.des" file:
-
Needs to be in lower case and all other files are in upper case.
-
MUST have "WRITE NOUNS = NO". If this option is set to "yes" only 1 user
will be able to access pragma.
-
If transferred from an MS-DOS (Windows) system:
-
Must have the "_M" character deleted from the end of each line (vi pragma.des,
move arrow keys to be under _M, hit "x", when finished, hit ESC, :, x)(dd
deletes an entire line, R replaces multiple characters, r replaces one
character).
-
Must have the PRINTER = LPT1 (or other non-Linux recognized printer port)
either deleted or changed to an appropriate default printer device).
-
Must have the COMMUNICATIONS = COM1 (or other non-Linux recognized
communications prot) either deleted or changed to an appropriate default
communications port).
The "pragma.log" file that is generated after coming to START will need
to have permissions set so all applicable users can have access (chmod 666
pragma.log).
PRAGMA SECURITY KEY CODE
To run in normal mode you will need a security key code.
Key in:
-
cd /usr/pragma
-
./PragmaIdNo
-
ls -l
A file will be created with a PSI extension. It will be 8 letters:
ABCDEFGH.PSI The "ABCDEFGH" will of course be different. This file will need
to be e-Mailed to CustomWare Designs.
CustomWare Designs will then generate a key code file with the same 8 letter
file name but the new file will have a PSK extension and e-mail it back to
you. This file must be copied to the /usr/pragma directory. Once it is copied
into the directory key in:
SCO UNIX
-
You must be logged in as "root".
-
You must have unizip installed.
To install the unzip program:
-
Download the file unizip.exe.
-
Copy the download file onto a DOS diskette.
-
Uncompress the file onto the floppy (run the executable)
-
On UNIX system perform a doscp a:unzip /usr/bin
-
On UNIX system perform a doscp a:zip /usr/bin
-
On UNIX system perform a doscp a:addcr.zip /usr/bin
-
On UNIX system perform a doscp a:readme /usr/bin/readme.zip
-
chmod 777 unzip.zip
-
unzip addcr
-
Download p4_unix.zip onto a DOS disk (or UNIX). It will fit on one
floppy.
-
If copied onto a DOS floppy disk as root copy the file to the UNIX root
directory:
-
Key in the following command (after having installed unizip) unzip -d
p4_unix.exe
-
cd /tmp
-
./init.pragma
-
Select appropriate operating system (U for UNIX)
-
Kernel boot by default? answer yes
-
Rebuild kernel environment = Y
-
Reboot system
-
You must have the Pragma security dongle installed in the parallel (printer)
port.
-
You should have downloaded the following files to the following
directories:
-
unzip (should be in /usr/bin) (the install program will make this
executable)
-
zip (should be in /usr/bin)(the install program will make this
executable)
-
p4_unix.exe (should be at root - /)
The following items will be created and/or installed:

111 --x--x--x |
MS-DOS/WINDOWS
-
You must have the Pragma security dongle installed in the parallel (printer)
port.
-
Create a directory on your drive. We recommend: C:\Program Files\Pragma
(C:\Pragma for MS-DOS)
-
Download the
DOSWIN.EXE
installation programs into the Pragma directory.
-
At a DOS (command) prompt type in:
-
cd c:\progra~1\pragma (or cd \pragma)
-
