Extracting the files from the Archive

MSDOS Hosts

The MSDOS version of this software package is distributed as a self-extracting archive named pmon.exe. To extract the files from the archive, simply type the following command in a MSDOS window.

1. Create a new directory. e.g.

   		C> mkdir \lsipkg
   

   It is good idea to place this directory as close to the root directory as possible because it helps minimise the length of the path variable.

2. Copy the MSDOS-host distribution into the new directory.

   		C> cd \lsipkg
   		C> copy <somewhere>\pmon.exe
   

3. Extract the files from the archive file. This is a self-extracting archive that was built using tools from Info-ZIP.

   		C> pmon
   

UNIX Hosts

The UNIX-hosted version of this software package is distributed as a compressed tar file. To extract the files from the archive, perform the following steps:

1. Create a new directory. e.g.

   		% mkdir ~/lsipkg
   

2. Move the UNIX-host distribution into the new directory.

   		% cd ~/lsipkg
   		% mv <somewhere>/pmon.tgz .
   

3. Extract the files from the archive file

   		% gunzip pmon.tgz
   		% tar -xof pmon.tar
