Installing Zim 7.11				
-------------------

For Windows 
-----------
1.  Insert the Zim 7.11 software CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2.  The Zim 7.11 Setup automatically launches the InstallShield Wizard.
    If the Setup does not launch automatically, choose "Run" from the
    Windows Start menu and execute the setup.exe program on the 
    CD Directory called Windows. 
3.  Follow the instructions as provided on the screen. 

Note: Additional Zim software is included on this CD; however, you 
      are entitled to activate only the Zim product(s) you have 
      purchased or been licensed to use.  All other Zim products 
      are unavailable for activation.

Note: If you experience difficulties installing Zim, contact ZIM 
      Technologies International Inc. Technical Support (zim@zim.biz). 

For UNIX
--------
For a successful installation, you must ensure that your UNIX 
environment has the uncompress utility installed and that you have 
appropriate access permissions. If you are not sure, contact your 
system administrator.

Load the Software
-----------------
1.  Insert the Zim 7.11 software CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2.  Mount the CD-ROM based on your own system configuration requirements.
    Refer to your operating system documentation. Note: In this example,
    we refer to this directory as /cdrom. 
3.  Access the directory on CD-ROM corresponding to your platform. 
    For instance:

    /cdrom/<platform> (where platform is one of HPUX, LINUX, AIX, etc.) 
    sh ./ZIM-71.SH

4.  To continue with the installation, follow the installation prompts 
    as they appear on your screen. The directory where the ZIM software 
    is installed is now optional; although it is assumed to be 
    /opt/zim/7.11/bin, you can choose any other directory at will. 
5.  Once the software has successfully installed, go to "Setting the 
    UNIX Environment Variables". If the software fails to install, contact
    ZIM Technologies International Inc. Technical Support (zim@zim.biz). 

Setting the UNIX Environment Variables
--------------------------------------
The default location for the Zim files is /opt/zim/7.11/bin.
To execute the Zim software:
	set the ZIM environment variable to indicate the location of the Zim
    files
	set the ZIMTERM environment variable to indicate the device name of
    your terminal
	set the PATH parameter to specify the directory
	set the SQLCPI environment variable if using the Zim Integrated Server
    or a SAM

Under the Korn Shell, Bourne Shell or any POSIX Shell
-----------------------------------------------------
Note: To make the settings consistent on a per-user basis, place these 
      commands in the file '$HOME/.profile'. 

1.  Set the ZIM environment variable: 
    ZIM=/opt/zim/7.11/bin
    export ZIM
2.  Set the ZIMTERM environment variable: 
    ZIMTERM=$TERM
    export ZIMTERM
3.  Set the SQLCPI environment variable for the Zim Integrated Server
    and the SAMs:
    SQLCPI=/opt/zim/7.11/bin
    export SQLCPI
4.  Add the directory in which the Zim files are located to your default
    search PATH: 
    PATH=$PATH:/opt/zim/7.11/bin
    export PATH

Under the C Shell
-----------------
Note: To make the settings consistent on a per-user basis, place these
      commands in the file '$HOME/.cshrc'. 

1.  Set the ZIM environment variable:
    setenv ZIM /opt/zim/7.11/bin
2.  Set the ZIMTERM environment variable: 
    setenv ZIMTERM $TERM
3.  Set the SQLCPI (make bold) environment variable for the Zim Integrated
    Server and the SAMs:
    setenv SQLCPI /opt/zim/7.11/bin
4.  Add the directory in which the Zim files are located to your default
    search PATH:
