Hi, Andy
The first thing that you need to do is create the directory that GRASS
will be installed in, such as /usr/grass4.1/sun4. Next, set the GISBASE
environmental variable to reflect this path:
(for csh) setenv GISBASE /usr/grass4.1/sun4 (or whatever)
(for sh) GISBASE=/usr/grass4.1/sun4; export GISBASE
Next, unarchive the cpio file in the correct directory:
cat suncpio | (cd $GISBASE; cpio -icdu)
Now you should be able to cd $GISBASE and follow the directions in the
README file on the cdrom. If you have any further questions, e-mail me.
Good luck!

Problem: We can't seem to find correct documentation to install
version 4.1 of GRASS from cd-rom.We recently got GRASS 4.1 (Compiled) on cd-rom for SunOS 4.1.3.
The online readme. file has not helped at all and the Install guide
from the GRASS web page refers to uncompiled GRASS on a tape archive.
Threfore, we would appreciate any insight on getting this version of
GRASS up and running.
We currently have a /grass dir with a file in it called {suncpio.Z}
The readme. file suggested to do: zcat suncpio.Z
that didn't work so we just used: uncompress suncpio.Z
So we now have a file called: suncpio and is ~117MB in size.
We need to know where to go from this point!!!Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
