Starting this last Wednesday, Information Systems started moving the
first of the PS/2s over to the IBM RISC System 6000s. This move is
being made to provide Alsys Ada to users on a different platform, and
also reduce the loads on the AIX/370 system.  Your files will still be
available on the AIX/370 home site that you have used in the past. 
Except when using ada, you should login to your home site as always
(eg, athena or whatever site your account was added to).

When you wish to use ada, login to flute, trumpet, or tuba and do only
ada (and vi) work there.  No software other than Alsys Ada, ulib, and
vi will be supported on the RISC/6000 systems.  All other software
must be run on the old system via the user's home AIX/370 site, the
PS/2 site that they always logged into before this transition.

A schedule of the migration of the PS/2s is posted as a separate news
article, please refer to it to determine when your site will be
migrated.  DO NOT access the RISC/6000 sites before that date and
time.  Attempts to do so will not be supported and your jobs may be
terminated.  Such attempts will disrupt and delay the migration
process.

Additional news items, including potential problems which may be
encountered during the transition will be posted to the system news
and NETnews as well as placed in a new systems area in "cpnn".  Please
be on the lookout for these postings.  The message of the day will be
updated to inform you of these new postings.

To complete this migration process to the RISC/6000 systems for Alsys
Ada, you will have to complete several steps.  These steps are:

I.   You MUST update your "dot" files.  The old dot files will not
     work properly while using the RISC/6000 system.  The new "dot"
     files have been created to allow logins to either system. 
     These are the same "dot" files that have already been
     announced in system news and NETnews.  To update your dot
     file, follow the steps listed below:

     A.      Login to your AIX/370 home site (eg, athena or
             whatever site your account was added to)

     B.      Execute

             % new.dots<RETURN>
                     or
             % /usr/local/bin/new.dots<RETURN>

     C.      Create/edit your own .cshrc.mine and .login.mine (C-
             shell or T-shell) or .profile.mine (Bourne shell) to
             include command aliases, environmental variable
             settings, and start-up commands using vi and any
             settings you may have had in your old "dot" files
             which are now stored as "*.previous".

     D.      Use "rm" to remove the old files which are no longer
             needed ("*.previous").

     E.      Changes take full effect at your next login.

II.  You will have to delete your old Alsys Ada families and
     libraries (ada_family and adalib) wherever they exist in your
     account.  This may be done by entering:

     % rm -fr ada_family<RETURN>

     in your home directory and

     % rm -fr adalib<RETURN>

     in any sub-directory where an adalib is located.  You can
     locate each of your adalibs by entering:

     % du<RETURN>

     in your home directory.

III. Delete the following files from your home directory (the
     directory you are at when you login):

     .adarc
     .fammgrrc
     .libmgrrc
     .unitmgrrc

     This can be accomplished by entering:

     % rm .adarc .fammgrrc .libmgrrc .unitmgrrc

     in your home directory.

Once the move has been completed and your files are located on the
RISC/6000 system, proceed with the following steps (NOTE:  These steps
are documented in your ada class notes):

I.   Log onto your new home RISC/6000 system (eg, flute).

II.  Execute

     % ulib csc ada_install<RETURN>

III. Execute

     % ada lib.new<RETURN>
             or
     % ada lib.new parent=/ulib/csc/lib/csclib<RETURN>

     depending on your faculty member's instructions.

IV.  Proceed with the editing, compilation, and execution of your
     ada program assignments.

Software supported on the IBM RISC System 6000 machines:

o    Alsys ada and the adaworld environment.
o    the departmental library access utility "ulib".
o    the vi editor

To read/send mail, use c or FORTRAN, read news, use cpnn, or any other
function besides ada, ulib, or vi users should:

o    Log off the RISC/6000 system.
o    Log into their old AIX/370 home site which you have used for
     logins before this notice.

If you have any questions on this move, please consult with your
instructor, and if the question is still unresolved, contact Academic
Computing Services at x-2516, CSc (Building 14) Room 115.
