\begin{itemize}
\item Expand the \capa\ file by typing:  \\
{\tt uncompress} {\em Your\_OS}{\tt .tar.Z}  \\
at the prompt.
\item Untar the \capa\ directories by typing: \\
{\tt tar xf} {\em Your\_OS}{\tt .tar}  \\
at the prompt.
\item This will create a {\sl DIST5} directory which will contain the following items:

\end{verbatim}
\item Print the file {\sl README.txt}.  This gives instructions for system installation.  If you are upgrading to \capa\ version 5.0, print the file {\sl UPGRADE.txt} instead and follow those instructions for a system upgrade.
\item When checking your permissions with those given in either the {\sl UPGRADE.txt} file or {\sl README.txt} file, be informed that your file sizes may differ.
\item {\bf Some Notes:}
\begin{itemize}
    \item  The \LaTeX{} and dvi programs must be properly installed on the host
      machine in order for {\sf Quizzer} to format the problem sets. 
      See your system administrator for help in installing these programs.  
     \item  For a broad range of terminal emulators to be able to access the
      system\footnote{by G. Perkins, MSU Physics-Astronomy Dept.}, it is necessary to modify the
      {\tt /etc/termcap} file  to accommodate the appropriate vt100 \label{vtEmul}
      terminal attributes, including handling non-standard nomenclature used by
      terminal emulation programs on Macs and PCs.  A notable example is the widely
      used {\it tn} program that is part of FTP Software, Inc.'s PC/TCP package. This
      program negotiates its terminal type with the host computer using the prefix
      {\tt dec-}
      for the {\tt vt} family of terminals ({\it e.g.,} it requests terminal type
      {\tt dec-vt100} instead of {\tt vt100}). This prefix, if unknown to the Unix
      host, may cause the negotiation to result in an incorrect terminal type or to
      fail completely.  
\newpage
      The line in the standard {\tt /etc/termcap} file that reads: \\ \\
      {\tt d0|vt100|vt100-am|vt100am|dec vt100:$\backslash$ } \\ \\
       should be edited  to read:\\ \\
      {\tt d0|vt100|vt100-am|vt100am|dec-vt100|dec vt100:$\backslash$ } \\ \\
      thereby establishing {\tt dec-vt100} as an official synonym for {\tt vt100}.
      Note that the ``{\tt dec-vt100}'' entry is different from the ``{\tt dec vt100}''
      entry.  We advise adding the new alias rather than changing the existing alias
      and possibly causing other problems.
      A similar change can be made on other operating systems which use the
      {\tt /etc/termcap} method of terminal definition.  Unix systems using the
      {\it terminfo} program instead will support similar minor changes to the
      appropriate file or files in the {\tt /usr/lib/terminfo} directory tree (consult
      your system administrator for details). Be prepared to make similar changes in
      case other terminal emulation programs at your site use their own non-standard
      terminal type nomenclature.
  \end{itemize}

\item  The \capa\ system should now be completely installed.  We recommend 
taking the guided tour, skimming through the manual, and reading about the 
\capa\ functions before coding problems and building sets.
