1.0 TRANSFERRING MASCOT
This section is only relevant if you are installing Mascot 
from the supplied MultiView Family CD. 

The information contained within this section explains the methods used
to transfer Mascot from the CD to your remote system. Mascot is stored
on the CD in a tar file as detailed below. 

For remote systems running SCO UNIX OS/5 transfer, "MAS_SCO5.TAR"
For remote systems running SCO UnixWare 7 transfer, "MAS_UW7.TAR"
For remote systems running IBM AIX v3.x transfer, "MAS_AIX3.TAR"
For remote systems running IBM AIX v5.x transfer, "MAS_AIX50.TAR"
For remote systems running HP HP-UX v9.0 and v10 transfer, "MAS_HP.TAR"
For remote systems running SUN Solaris v2.x transfer, "MAS_SOL.TAR"
For remote systems running Linux v2.x transfer, "MAS_LINX.TAR"

1.1 Method 1 - With CD player connected to the remote host
Insert the CD, change to Mascot directory and copy the 
file that corresponds to your operating system into a temporary directory, 
(e.g., "/tmp").

1.2 Method 2 - PC with a file transfer program available
Using a file transfer client, for example MultiView 2000 or MultiView
DeskTop file transfer, connect to your remote system. Change to 
the Mascot directory on the CD, and transfer the file that 
corresponds to your operating system on your remote system into a 
temporary directory, (e.g., "/tmp").
