SPM runs on a DOS-based PC or on a UNIX® system platform with Integrated
Solution II or Integrated Solution Ill (lS-II/III). It is available on a 3½-inch
diskette. The DOS version is also available on a 5¼-inch diskette. This software
can be used directly from the floppies on a DOS machine; however, if your PC
has a hard disk, you should install SPM on the hard disk.
This chapter also describes programming on a PC with a DOS operating
system. If your system has the lS-II/-lll application, you have a Master
Controller equipped with the UNIX system version of SPM. For information
about accessing SPM from the lS-II/III application, refer to the following books:
