creation of multi-file archives.</P>
<P>B. UNPACK</P>
<P>If you're using VMStar:</P>

<P>C. BUILD</P>
<P>Make sure you have MMS (from Digital) or the freeware MMK ( available from MadGoat at <A HREF="http://www.madgoat.com">http://www.madgoat.com</A> ). Then type this to create the
DESCRIP.MMS for the module:</P>
<PRE>
perl Makefile.PL</PRE>
<P>Now you're ready to build:</P>
<PRE>
mms
mms test</PRE>
<P>Substitute <CODE>mmk</CODE> for <CODE>mms</CODE> above if you're using MMK.</P>
<P>D. INSTALL</P>
<P>Type</P>
<PRE>
mms install</PRE>
<P>Substitute <CODE>mmk</CODE> for <CODE>mms</CODE> above if you're using MMK.</P>

<STRONG>If you're on MVS</STRONG>,
<P>Introduce the <EM>.tar.gz</EM> file into an HFS as binary; don't translate from
ASCII to EBCDIC.</P>
<P>A. DECOMPRESS</P>
<PRE>
Decompress the file with C<gzip -d yourmodule.tar.gz></PRE>
