FTP upload of binary file to MPE

Once you have downloaded the binary file to your PC, you need to upload it to the HP e3000. Start a MS-DOS command window, switch to the directory where you downloaded the binary file, then start FTP:

C:\> cd \download
C:\DOWNLOAD> ftp myhost.example.com
Connected to myhost.example.com.
220 HP ARPA FTP Server [A0011001] (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1990
User (myhost.example.com:(none)): myname,manager.sys,pub
230 User logged on
ftp> binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> put lqpre.bin lqpre;rec=128,1,f,binary;code=store
200 PORT command ok.
150 File: lqpre;rec=128,1,f,binary;code=store opened; data connection will be opened
226 Transfer complete.
9360640 bytes sent in 10.89 seconds (859.88 Kbytes/sec)
ftp> quit

Installing the Software

Now that you have the STORE file on your HP e3000, you need to install it:

Restore the files.
Execute the installation script.

Restore the files

Logon (or stay logged on) as manager.sys,pub to do the restore.

:hello manager.sys,pub
:file t=lqpre;dev=disc
:restore *t;@.@.@;create;show=short
:purge lqpre
:stream robelle.job.robelle

Wait for the job to send you a completion message:

========= Robelle.Pub.Sys  =================
=           Robelle account structure ready.
============================================

Execute the Installation Script

Wait to be contacted by Robelle with the authorization codes. Once you get the codes you can finish the installation script:^*

:hello mgr.robelle,pub
:webinst.qedjnew
Please enter the Product Verification Code : n
Please enter the Verification Code         : n
Please enter the Second Verification Code  : n

After a few moments, a batch job will be launched. Wait for the job to send you a completion message:

Install has installed a new version of QEDIT!

You can now run the pre-release from the Pub group:

:run qedit.pub.robelle

^* Note that nobody can be accessing Qedit while the batch job runs. If you like, you can edit the webinst.qedjnew command file to launch the job at a time when nobody will be accessing Qedit. E.g.,
stream webjob.qedjnew;at=02:00
