Syntax

AUTOINST

Operation

Use AUTOINST to restore the information contained on the FOS and SUBSYS tapes, set up the necessary

accounting structure and creates a customized system load tape (SLT).

The fundamental operating system (FOS) and subsystem (SUBSYS) tapes contain programs and utilities for

performing specific functions such as compiling programs, copying files, or editing text. You must restore

these programs, located on tapes provided with MPE iX, before you can use them.

AUTOINST requires minimal intervention beyond mounting the tapes. It issues messages as it performs its

tasks. The messages prompt for any necessary intervention and report on the successful completion of the

various procedures.
