README FILE – 01/09/2013

This release of the Computer Based Instruction (CBI) package runs on the MUMPS V1 system, hereafter referred to MV1. MV1 runs on the following platforms: Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD (versions 3 through 9), OSX (10.4 through 10.8 in 32 bit mode) and Windows( XP and Windows 7). This release of the CBI package is focused on the Linux platform only. It should be possible to run this package under the other two platforms assuming you can find a really good VT100 terminal emulation package for them.

PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE

The following packages are required:

* 7z Compression - This kit requires the 7z compression/decompression program to extract the contents.

* MV1 Kit - If you have the Linux version of MV1 installed, you may proceed to the     next required package, xterm.

Go to the following URL to download the MV1 system: 

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mumps/?source=directory.

Follow the instructions in the README file. Note that you have to select the MV1 implementation you want to run. Do that by changing the file name to mv1.exe. Changing the name simply avoids conflict with GT.M if you have it installed.

* xterm - This courseware package is dependent upon a terminal device that does a good job of emulating a VT100 terminal. For Linux systems, xterm has been the most reliable. Make sure it is installed.

If you have it installed, go to the next section. Otherwise, install it.

NOTE: Experience has shown that using other emulators is fraught with problems so do not expect support. If you are running MV1 on Windows, KEA! has been recommended. However, it costs to use it.

* the cbi_mv1_3_1_1_1_admin_guide.pdf file that contains all the instructions for setting up and maintaining the courseware system.

INSTALLING THE CBI PACKAGE

1. Make sure all prerequisite software packages are installed.

2. Extract all files in the cbi_mv1_3_1_1_1.7z file into the directory you installed MV1 into.

3. To start up the xterm window, enter the following command: xterm -bc -kt vt220 -ti vt220

4. Next, you should enlarge the window since it is very small. To do that, place the mouse over the xterm window. Hold down the Ctrl key and at the same time, hold down the right button on your mouse. (they must both be depressed at the same time). Drag down to 'Huge' and let go of the mouse button and Ctrl key. The window should enlarge.

5. Now enter the following commands to start the courseware.

 * Change directory (cd) to the MV1 directory.

 * To run the CBI package, enter the following command:

    ./mv1 -x 'D ^VESCMD' -e 'CBI' cbiDB

6. You should be at the login screen for the courseware. Simply press the enter key to quit out and return to the shell prompt.

GETTING STARTED
Now that you have the system installed, go to the cbi_mv1_3_1_1_1_admin_guide.pdf file and follow the instructions for setting up and maintaining the courseware system.
