- 2.2.2.4 The IRIX Modules Package contains the Modules
- utility.
-
- For more information on the Modules Package, please read
- /opt/modules/2.2.2.4/doc/Modules-Paper.ps.
-
- 1.1 System_Prerequisite
-
- If you plan to run any IRIX applications, it is important to
- note that you must install the IRIX Compiler EOE.
-
- 1.2 Release_Identification_Information
-
- Following is the release identification information for the
- IRIX Modules Package (modules):
-
- Software Product modules
- Version 2.2.2.4
- System Software Requirements IRIX 6.2 (or later)
-
- 1.3 Modules_Package_2.2.2.4_Subsystems
-
- The 2.2.2.4 IRIX Modules software (modules) includes these
- subsystems:
-
- modules.sw.base Base modules software (default)
- modules.sw.mipspro MIPSpro modulefiles (default)
- modules.sw.nqe NQE modulefile (default)
- modules.sw.scsl SCSL modulefile (default)
- modules.sw.mpt MPT modulefile (default)
- modules.man.relnotes IRIX Module Package release notes
- (default)
- modules.man.module IRIX module and modulefile man
- pages (default)
-
- If you are installing this option for the first time, the
- subsystems marked ``default'' are those that are installed
- if you use the ``go'' menu item. To install a different set
- of subsystems, use the ``install,'' ``remove,'' ``keep,''
- and ``step'' commands in inst to customize the list of
- subsystems to be installed, then select the ``go'' menu
- item.
-
- 1.4 Online_Release_Notes
-
- After you install the online documentation for a product
- (the relnotes subsystem), you can view the release notes on
- your screen.
-
- If you have a graphics system, select ``Release Notes'' from
- the Tools submenu of the Toolchest. This displays the
- grelnotes(1) graphical browser for the online release notes.
- Refer to the grelnotes(1) man page for information on
- options to this command.
-
- If you have a nongraphics system, you can use the relnotes
- command. Refer to the relnotes(1) man page for accessing
- the online release notes.
-
- The relnotes command uses files in /usr/relnotes by
- default. The command does not search a path and cannot
- also search /opt files for relnotes information.
-
- If a product is installed ONLY in /opt, relnotes are
- at /opt/[product]/[version]/usr/relnotes and can
- be read directly. You can also set RELNOTESPATH
- to /opt/[product]/[version]/usr/relnotes and
- use "relnotes [product]". You must then unset
- RELNOTESPATH, so that products not installed in opt
- will again be available to the relnotes command.
-
- If a product is installed in both the root install and
- /opt, invoking relnotes will display the root version only.
-

- support maintenance program for its products.
