;README.TXT -- Brief description of ARK installation distribution files.

  For a more complete description of how to configure ARK for your system, and
your system for ARK, see ARK.DOC.  For concise help on how to use ARK once you
have it installed, run ARK and give the command HELP.  For a concise list of the
differences between your release of ARK and previous releases, see ARKREV.TXT.

  ARK as delivered is configured to run under RT-11SJ or FB (all configurations
run under TSX+), reports tape usage assuming 800, 1600, and 3200 bpi 9-track
tape, and has no default tape device (ARK will prompt for a device name when it
needs one).  To configure ARK to run under XM, to modify the parameters ARK uses
to compute tape usage, or to specify a default tape device, run ARKFIG and
follow the directions it gives you.

  To restore files to, or delete files from logical subset disks, ARK needs one
of the handler files to be on your system disk.  (Remember that to copy handler
files you must use the /SYS option with the COPY command.)  After you have done
the copy, you should re-boot your system.  Under TSX+ this is required since it
is the only way to install new handlers, but under both RT-11 and TSX+, trying
to re-boot will tell you if you installed the correct version of the handler
(with or without device timeout and/or error logging support).  If RT-11 failed
to install the handler (?MON-F-Conflicting SYSGEN options), copy a different
version of the handler to your system disk and try again.

  If your operating system is RT-11, copy the appropriate version of the handler
AK[X][T][E].SYS to your system disk SY:AK[X].SYS.  In these names [X], [T] and
[E] represent the system generation options for memory management (RT-11XM),
device timeout support, and error logging support.  For each option included in
your system, include the letter for that option (in the order shown) in the name
of the handler file to copy, and in the case of memory management ([X]) in the
name of the output file also.  For example, if you recieved your distrbution on
an RX02 and you are running RT-11SJ with device timeout support, you would use
the following command:  "COPY/SYS DY0:AKT.SYS SY:AK.SYS", whereas if you are
running RT-11 XM with error logging support but not device timeout support, you
would use the following command: "COPY/SYS DY0:AKXE.SYS SY:AKX.SYS".

  If your operating system is TSX+, copy AK.TSX (or AK32J.TSX if your version
of TSX+ is older than V6.0) to SY:AK.TSX and generate a new version of TSX+ (by
editing TSGEN.MAC) that includes a DEVDEF <AK>.  If you are running TSX+ version
5.1 or later, use the following form:
	DEVDEF	<AK>,NOCACHE,NOMOUNT,EVNBUF	;ARK'S LD handler
You may also include NOMAPH if you wish.  In addition, we recommend that you
also copy to your system disk the handler for the version of RT-11 from which
you boot TSX+.
