4.2.2 UNIX

• source usr1/ccdc/cambridge/csdsetup

When this instruction is executed, a C shell script sets up the aliases and environment variables required to run the CSD software on your machine. You will see something like the following:

• CSD environment set
  CSD executables in /usr1/ccdc/cambridge
  CSD database mask records in /usr1/ccdc
  database tcd  records in /usr1/ccdc
  CSD two-digit product    ID code 54

• Type: % quest steroid /dev/tty

• or simply % quest steroid

• Starting Cambridge Structural Database Quest program ...
  CSD two-digit product    ID code 54
  Search is on master Cambridge database
  QUEST configuration file: /usr1/ccdc/cambridge/quest.fig
  QUEST initialisation file: /usr1/ccdc/cambridge/quest_init.que
  FORTRAN logical units permanently assigned for problem name steroid

Additional information that may be obtained from the above startup text is as follows:

• The default configuration and initialisation (startup files) are to be used.

• The Master database is to be searched.

• The product version number is 54. (This number should be quoted when contacting User Support at the CCDC.)

• The problem name in use is steroid.

• The Graphics QUEST3D software is available for use. Users of the Basic Version would see the following:
  • Basic QUEST Software

• The default QUEST initialisation file contains a set of comments explaining the file's purpose.

Problem

If you see the following

• quest: Command not found.

• source/usr1/ccdc/cambridge/csdsetup

4.2.3 For More Information...

Note:

The principal difference between the QUEST command procedures for VMS and UNIX, so far as users are concerned, is that the VMS procedure's default for the 2nd parameter is non-interactive. That is, if you omit TT: the software will read instructions from STEROID.QUE. The UNIX implementations, on the other hand, by default, are interactive. If you omit the /dev/tty the software will still read instructions from the terminal.

For more information on the QUEST command and its parameters on UNIX machines see Appendix 13 of the hardcopy documentation.
