DICT-OBJ-FILE
Installation Notes: V8-0-04

                    Installation and Usage Notes for the
                        DICT-OBJ-FILE - Class Library


1. Installation

a.  Uncompress and unbundle the distribution using the following command:

        zcat dict-obj-file-v8.004-prod-src.tar.gz | tar -xf -

    The result of this command is a subdirectory dict-obj-file-v8.004-prod-src
    in the current directory. It contains subdirectories of various source
    modules.


2.  Building the Application

a.  Position in the dict-obj-file-v8.004-prod-src directory and run "make"
    command:

        cd dict-obj-file-v8.004-prod-src
        make

    The application executables will be placed in the
    "dict-obj-file-v8.004-prod-src/bin" subdirectory.

    NOTE: The users who are working on Sun platform are strongly advised to
    check the compiler flags in etc/make.platform.sunos5 file. Depending on
    the compiler version, users may be required to make modifications to those
    compiler flags.


3.  Demonstration

a.  Position in the dict-obj-file-v8.004-prod-src directory and execute
    "make test":

        cd dict-obj-file-v8.004-prod-src
        make test

    This command invokes the script

        dict-obj-file-v8.004-prod-src/dict-obj-file-v8.0/test/test.sh

    which first executes the DictObjFileCreator application. This application
    creates a dictionary object file from the dictionary located in the file
    "mmcif_std.dic" and using the DDL located in the file "mmcif_ddl.dic". It
    then writes out this dictionary object file to a persistent storage
    file "mmcif_std.odb". The script then invokes two other applications
    (DictObjFileReader and DictObjFileSelectiveReader). They read the
    dictionary object file from the persistent storage file, previously
    created, access its objects and print the object contents out to the two
    log files with ".out" extension.
