Component Placement

Some of the files on the CD should be stored in $SYSTEM.SYSTEM and some of the

program files must be licensed before they can be run.

One of the advantages of using the RDFINST macro is that it automatically licenses

those programs that need to be licensed.

RDFINST licenses the following programs:

RDFCHEK

RDFCOM

RDFEXTO

RDFRCVO

RDFMONO

RDFPRGO

RDFSNOOP

RDFUPDO
