==Developing on Duck==
===Installing GNV (GNU is not VMS)===
====Downloading GNV====
First, download GNV version 1.9 for VMS 7.3-2<br>
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/opensource/gnv.html
<p>
Unzip the file on <b>your workstation</b>. FTP the two <code>.pcsi</code> to duck using the "binary" mode (i.e. type <code>bin</code> before you use <code>get</code>. Make sure that all letters in the file name are uppercase, so, for example, if you got the following after unzipping:
<pre>
dec-axpvms-gnv-v0109-000-1.pcsi$compressed;1
dec-axpvms-gnv-v0109-000-1.pcsi$compressed_esw;1
</pre>
rename them to
<pre>
DEC-AXPVMS-GNV-V0109-000-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED;1
DEC-AXPVMS-GNV-V0109-000-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW;1
</pre>
====Installing GNV====
Login as user <code>system</code> to do the installation.
Follow the installation instructions on http://openvms.compaq.com/OpenSource/gnvreadme_first.html, section 6.
<pre>
$PRODUCT INSTALL GNV /SOURCE=device:[dir.where.pcsi.are]
</pre>
====Setting up GNV====
Follow the installation instructions on http://openvms.compaq.com/OpenSource/gnvreadme_first.html, section 7.
<br>
The following modifications were made to configuration files on duck:
1. File SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM: the following line was added
<pre>
$ @SYS$STARTUP:GNV$STARTUP.COM
</pre>
2. File LOGIN.COM at the devel account: added the line below
<pre>
$ @GNU:[LIB]GNV_SETUP.COM
</pre>
3.  As mentioned in http://openvms.compaq.com/OpenSource/gnvreadme_first.html, section 9.3, long file names are enabled on an ODS-5 disk by adding the follwowing line devel's LOGIN.COM file:
<pre>
$ SET PROCESS/PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED
</pre>
Note that you could also make the terminal case sensitive, but this did not work well, so I did not include this command.
====Running GNV====
Just start bash:
<pre>
$ ssh -l devel duck.kin.ucalgary.ca
devel@duck.kin.ucalgary.ca's password:
Welcome to OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version V7.3-2 
DISK1:[DEVEL]
$ bash
bash$
</pre>
See the list of commands available at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/opensource/gnvreadme_first.html, section 5.
