Testing SEDIT and/or S/REXX on Silicon Graphic Stations

Note: SEDIT 4.80 and S/REXX 2.80 are the last releases to support SGI

The SGI binaries are in the file:

tarfile.sgi.gz             (Includes the PDF SEDIT and S/REXX documentation)

Create a specific directory for SEDIT and S/REXX, and move the binaries file on it. For example, type:

# mkdir /home/xed
# gunzip tarfile.sgi.gz
# tar -xvf tarfile.sgi

SEDIT runs only on SGI OS 5.3 and above.

You will need to request a temporary license key to activate SEDIT and/or S/REXX.

First type:

# ./seditid

This will display the cpu-id that needs to be e-mailed to your local distributor to get in return the license key.

To install the key(s), type:

# ./install sedit
# ./install rexx

and follow the instructions.

SEDIT can then be started with the following command:

# ./xed
