ReadAIF Installation 1. Create a Directory Create a directory where you want to put the ReadAIF files. The space required is only a few hundred KB. For purposes of this manual, let's day that we create the directory /cad/readaif. 2. Untar the files into the directory you just created. The readaif release comes as a tar.Z file. Use the uncompress command to get the tar file and then use the tar command to unpack the files i.e. [/cad/readaif]$ uncompress readaifv101.tar.Z then [/cad/readaif]$ tar xvf readaifv101.tar 3. Edit your .cdsinit file Open your .cdsinit file (it can be located in various places and the location determines whether it will control just your local copy of Virtuoso or the entire dept's configurations...) Append the following two lines to the end of the .cdsinit file: ACS_READAIF_DIR = "/cad/readaif" (load (strcat ACS_READAIF_DIR "/raifinit.eil")) The first line defines the location of where you have installed the readaif files. The second line instructs Virtuoso to load the readaif files. The next time you start Virtuoso you should see the ReadAIF pulldown.
