Thank you for evaluating ZeroFault.  The directions in this file will
show you how to install and start using it.

Please send any feedback to info@zerofault.com.  We are eager to hear
from you and discuss any questions or comments you may have.


EVALUATING ZeroFault
====================

The ZeroFault evaluation copy is fully functional with one exception:
on large programs (with a text size greater than 25K), traceback
information is disabled.  ZeroFault will show you all the errors that
it has found, but on large programs it won't display the traceback.

The evaluation copy enables you to:

       - Debug small programs.
       - Write testcases to test specific features.
       - Verify the types of errors ZeroFault discovers.
       - Ensure that ZeroFault works in your environment and on your
           application.
       - See the number, type, and severity of the errors that
           ZeroFault can help you resolve.


LICENSING ZeroFault
===================

Please refer to http://www.zerofault.com/zf/price.htm for information
on licensing options and prices.  Further information can be obtained
from info@zerofault.com.


DOWNLOADING ZeroFault
=====================

If you have not already done so, download ZeroFault from our ftp
site:

        ftp://ftp.zerofault.com/pub/zf-eval-aix325.tar (AIX 3.2.5)

        ftp://ftp.zerofault.com/pub/zf-eval-aix41.tar  (AIX 4.1/4.2)

        ftp://ftp.zerofault.com/pub/zf-eval-aix43.tar  (AIX 4.3)

If you do not have web access you can use ftp.  Log in as "ftp", and
give your email address for a password.  Enter "cd /pub" to change to
the directory containing the installation files before downloading.


INSTALLING ZeroFault
====================

The following directions assume you have downloaded the ZeroFault
package and are in the directory containing the tar file.  You will
need approximately 10Mb of disk space to hold the download and
extract it.

1. Extract the tar file

        As root, enter one of the following commands:

          tar xf zf-eval-aix325.tar

          tar xf zf-eval-aix41.tar

          tar xf zf-eval-aix43.tar

2. Install ZeroFault

        As root, enter one of the following commands:

          installp -acXFd ZeroFault-eval.aix325.obj all

          installp -acXFd ZeroFault-eval.aix41.obj all

          installp -acXFd ZeroFault-eval.aix43.obj all

        You may also use 'smit install_latest' to install ZeroFault,
        specifying the appropriate filename in the "INPUT device /
        directory for software" field, and setting the "OVERWRITE
        same or newer versions" option to "yes".

        After installation has completed, the "ZeroFault.*.obj"
        installation file may be removed to conserve disk space, but
        you may want to keep a copy of it for future installations.

2a. Custom installation of ZeroFault

        If you do not have root access to the machine on which you
        want to install ZeroFault, or you do not want ZeroFault
        installed in /usr/lpp/ZeroFault, you may install ZeroFault in
        a custom directory using the zf-custom-install script:

          zf-custom-install <install_file> <target_dir>

        This script will install ZeroFault into the specified
        directory.  Note that you must set the indicated environment
        variables manually, e.g. in /etc/profile or each user's
        $HOME/.profile.
