SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
7) Loading Interlisp-D Packages
46
Xerox supplies two sets of floppies containing
Interlisp-D software modules: the Lisp Library,
which contains software_ supported by Xerox; and
Lisp Users, which contains user-written software not
supported by Xerox.
Please consult Appendix C, Library Guide, before
attempting to load a specific library package into
your virtual memory. Appendix
C
lists those
modules that require the loading of files from more
than one floppy disk, provides the sequence of
loading, and contains an index indicating which
modules reside on which floppies.
Each module consists of one or more compiled files
(indicated by the extension DCOM). There are also
floppies containing fonts and the on-line
documentation (HelpSys).
To load a module from these floppies into a
running Interlisp-D environment, insert the floppy
containing the module you need into the floppy
disk drive, and use the LOAD function to read it into
vi rtual memory.
For instance, to load the Grapher module, type'
(LOAD '{FLOPPY}GRAPHER.DCOM)
to the Interlisp-D Executive. If you are loading
many modules, you may find it convenient instead
to first connect to the floppy device by typing
,- CON
N
{FLOPPY}
after which you could type simply
(LOAD 'GRAPHER.DCOM).
When a module such as Grapher is loaded, the
system attempts to automatically load all the files
on which the module depends that have not yet
been loaded. If the required files are stored on a
