PRODUCT:  Compaq DATATRIEVE for OpenVMS, Version 7.1

OP/SYS:   Compaq OpenVMS Alpha, Version 7.0

SOURCE:   Compaq Computer Corporation


OVERVIEW:

The following information can be used as as a guide in setting up your
system after V7.1 of DATATRIEVE is installed WITHOUT having CDD
installed on the system.


INFORMATION:

When DTR$TOP points to the top root (SYS$SYSDEVICE:[VMS$COMMON.DTR.]) and
your default dictionary (CDD$DEFAULT) falls in a subdirectory of the top
root, define CDD$DEFAULT to point to a CDD$TOP.<path> -- not DTR$TOP.<path>.
For example:

     $ define dtr$top SYS$SYSDEVICE:[VMS$COMMON.DTR.]
     $ define cdd$default CDD$TOP.DTR$LIB.SMITH

* Note this system has 'NO CDD' installed.  CDO.EXE not found.

> DIR SYS$SYSTEM:CD*

Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]

CDA$CONVERT.EXE;1   CDA$PACK.EXE;1      CDA$UNPACK.EXE;1    CDU.EXE;1

  "DTR$LIBRARY" = "SYS$COMMON:[DTR]"
  "DTR$TCPSERVER" = "SYS$SYSTEM:DDMF.COM"

(DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES)
!
! The following logical is defined to prevent DATATRIEVE from invoking
! DECWindows.  It can be placed in a user's login file or as a SYSTEM
! logical.
!
> DEFINE DTR$NOWINDOWS TRUE
!
! The following logical MUST be defined and point to a ROOTED-Directory.
! This is the DEFAULT that was taken during the installation.  The
! installation used SYS$SYSDEVICE:[VMS$COMMON.DTR] as its installation
! directory.  The contents of this directory will contain all the .DAT,
! examples, DABS, and DTR$LIB.DIR.  See page 1-7 of DEC DATATRIEVE
! Release Notes.
!
> DEFINE DTR$TOP SYS$SYSDEVICE:[VMS$COMMON.DTR.]
                                              ^ DOT must be inserted
!
! Once the above logical DTR$TOP is defined, you can define CDD$DEFAULT to
! point to DTR$TOP.  DATATRIEVE checks CDD$DEFAULT at startup even though
! CDD is not installed on the system.  You should include DTR$LIB in the
! definition to place you in its directory.
!
> DEFINE CDD$DEFAULT DTR$TOP.DTR$LIB
!
! The above directory DTR$TOP.DTR$LIB should be used to contain the user's
! directories.  For example:
!
! DEFINE CDD$DEFAULT DTR$TOP.DTR$LIB.SMITH
!
! Note these are logicals and can be placed in user's login.com files or
! defined as system logicals.
!
! Individual user's should have CDD$DEFAULT defined to their personal
! directory in their login.com file.  This is done so that the user
! starting DATATRIEVE will be placed into their directory.  For example:
