guide
explains
the
concepts
and
procedures
necessary
for
you
to
effectively
use
Software
Distribution

distribute
software
over
local
area
networks
(LANs)
and
WANs.

Conventions
Used
in
This

This
guide
uses
several
conventions
for
special
terms
and
actions,
and
operating
system-dependent
commands
and
paths.
Typeface
Conventions
This
guide
uses
the
following
typeface
conventions:
Bold
v
Lowercase
commands
and
mixed
case
commands
that
are
otherwise
difficult
to
distinguish
from
surrounding
text
v
Interface
controls
(check
boxes,
push
buttons,
radio
buttons,
spin
buttons,
fields,
folders,
icons,
list
boxes,
items
inside
list
boxes,
multicolumn
lists,
containers,
menu
choices,
menu
names,
tabs,
property
sheets),
labels
(such
as
Tip:,
and
Operating
system
considerations:)
v
Keywords
and
parameters
in
text
Italic
v
Words
defined
in
text
v
Emphasis
of
words
(words
as

v
New
terms
in
text
(except
in
a
definition
list)
v
Variables
and
values
you
must
provide
Monospace
v

Values

Operating
system-dependent
Variables
and
Paths
This
guide
uses
the
UNIX
convention
for
specifying
environment
variables
and
for
directory
notation.
When
using
the
Windows
command
line,
replace
$variable
with
%
variable%
for
environment
variables
and
replace
each
forward
slash
(/)
with
a
backslash
(\)
in
directory
paths.
The
names
of
environment
variables
are
not
always
the
same
in
Windows
and
UNIX.
For
example,
%TEMP%
in
Windows
is
equivalent
to
$tmp
in
UNIX.
Note:
If
you
are
using
the
bash
shell
on
a
Windows
system,
you
can
use
the
UNIX
conventions.
