Installation
============

The installation is in three parts:

1.  Omnis software.  The Omnis Studio software must be installed from a
CD-ROM into a folder called 'Omnis24'  This part is licenced, and costs
real money.  This first time you start the software you will be asked
for a serial number, which you should received from me.

2.  Oracle SQL*Net networking software.  This is needed to allow your
Omnis client to communicate with the Oracle server in Geneva.  This is
also licenced software, although many institutes have a site licence for
Oracle, which allows SQL*Net to be used there for free.

3.  SCT_DB library and datafile.  This is the program (sct_db5_43.lbr) that
implements the SCT construction database and local cache (sct_db5_43.df1). 
They should be kept together in the same folder.  On installation, the
database will be just a 'skeleton', containing only some basic
definitions.  It is possible to download the full database from the
Oracle server in Geneva, and to send your new data back to the server. 
The latest version of the SCT_DB library can be downloaded from the
World Wide Web at this URL:

    http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/groups/atlas/SCTdatabase/Database.html

The library and datafile should be kept in the Omnis24 folder. The SCT_DB
distribution also contains a file of special icons (Userpic.df1) which
should replace the file of the same name in the Icons folder the first
time the software is installed.
