[Note that for this document, as well as other text files (including
ACCELL/4GL Scripts, RPT Scripts, etc.), TAB's are used.  In order to
make the files readable while in the visual editor vi you may wish
to set up your environment variable EXINIT to contain the paramater
"ts=3" to set the TAB stops to be every three columns.]

	HDMS comes as a tar file called "HDMS.tar".  (Yes, I know that my
previous sentence isn't punctuated correctly; I've always thought it
was a stupid rule of english that the period or comma must be inside
of the quotation marks.  Keeping the period or comma outside of the
quotation marks makes it less confusing to the reader in
documentation where exact syntaxes are important.)  The hierarchical
structure of the tar file is most probably not the same as what the
hierarchichal structure of the application will be.  I decided to
organize the tar file as logically as possible and allow the end
user to copy things from the HDMS release package to the application
directories during application installation and set-up.  The rest of
this document will simply be a listing of the directories contained
in the release along with a short desciption.

./		The root directory of the application release.  Note that the
		tar file does not contain a fully-qualified path, so you may
		install it wherever you please.

./README		This file.

./doc/	The directory containing all of the documentation for both
			HDMS users and application administrators.  A file extension
			of "eps" means that the file is a PostScript file; a file
			extension of "w4w" means that the file is a Word-for-Windows
			file.

	authcomm		Comments from the author of all of the documentation
					and a lot of the application.

	disclaim		The disclaimer that you must abide by in order to use
					the HDMS package at your organization.  Note that by
					reading this description, you are agreeing to read the
					disclaimer if you plan on going any further with
					working with HDMS.

	fileinv		An inventory of files for the application.

	hliprogs		A listing and description of all of the C programs
					written to accompany the UNIFY and ACCELL parts of the
					application to achieve all of HDMS's functionalities.

	install		A document describing the steps necessary to take the
					HDMS package and UNIFY/ACCELL software to create the
					application at your organization.  As of this writing,
					this document is not complete.
	
	intro			An introduction to HDMS.

	partlist		A listing of the contents of the HDMS release.

	profile		A document describing the user profiles necessary from
					a UNIX stand-point to allow users to access HDMS.  Also
					included here are networking related issues.

	sysadm		A description of the responsibilities of an application
					administration.
	
	usergd		An approximately forty page document that users can use
					to help them with the opearation of HDMS.

./forms+help/	The directory containing all of the Form and Help screens
					needed for the application.  These screens are in an
					ASCII representation, so you will need to run the "z2q2z"
					conversion program while in this directory to convert the
					forms back to the format needed by the ACCELL/Manager.

./hli		The directory containing all of the C programs that are used
			along with the ACCELL and UNIFY features to achieve all of
			HDMS's functionalities.  The programs are described in the
			"hliprogs" document.  Also contained in this directory are two
			files: an executable schell script for compiling the programs,
			and a README file explaining the compilation.

./rpt		The directory containing all of the RPT scripts for producing
			reports while running the application.

./schema		This directory contains one file, "unify.db".  For UNIFY
				IDS RDBMS's, this file is all that you need to recreate the
				database design, B-Tree's, etc. at your organization.  If
				you are using UNFY 2000, you will need more than this.
				Delmarva Power is currently working on packaging HDMS for
				RDBMS's based on U2000.

./scripts	The directory containing the ACCELL/4GL scripts that
				customize the behavior of the Forms under the
				ACCELL/Manager.
