Using VMSTAILOR and DECW$TAILOR
10.2 Using DECW$TAILOR
5. Decide which file classes or subclasses you do not need to support your
system. The DECW$TAILOR program displays step-by-step instructions.
Follow these instructions to specify which of the classes or subclasses you
want to add.
6. DECW$TAILOR installs the files you selected and displays the names of
those files. If you added device support files, the system automatically shuts
down and reboots.
Caution
To cancel DECW$TAILOR during the first and second phases, press
Ctrl/C, Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/Z. Canceling DECW$TAILOR during the third
phase can cause a partially tailored disk. For a description of each phase,
see Section 10.2.1.
After adding files to the system disk, apply any updates that affect them. For
example, suppose you delete the Version 7.3 DECwindows 100 dots/inch video
font files. Later on, you are able to use the 100 dots/inch fonts, so you run
DECW$TAILOR to return the files to the system disk. You must then apply any
OpenVMS VAX update that has occurred since Version 7.3 that affected the 100
dots/inch video font files. OpenVMS VAX update procedures create a .TXT file
that contains a description of modified files. This file usually has a name with the
following format: SYS$UPDATE:VMSUn05n.TXT. (Examine this file to determine
if the update patched the 100 dots/inch font files.)
10.2.5 Sample Session
Example 10–2 illustrates how to add the files for DECwindows 100 dots/inch font
files.
Example 10–2 Sample DECW$TAILOR Session
$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR

You will now be prompted with a list of the classes and subclasses
of DECwindows files that are optional. The size of each class and subclass is
included in the list. This will help you decide whether or not you want to add
a class or subclass to your system.
Under some classes, there is a set of common files that is required in order
for any subclasses to work. These files are added when you ask
for either the entire class or any of its subclasses.
Total size of the system disk is 2376153 blocks.
Total space used on the system disk is 1728072 blocks.
Total space left on the system disk is 648081 blocks.
CLASS - DECwindows base support files
Size of entire class (with subclasses): 3363
