User's Guide


Installing

After you've created reusable parts, you'll want to distribute them to others. You can freely distribute the parts that you build to any licensed VisualAge user. Refer to the VisualAge Smalltalk web site and to the product license for information on which VisualAge files you can also distribute.

When your parts are installed on a user's system, there are two steps in the installation process:

  1. Copy all the files into the correct directories.
  2. Load the code into the customer's VisualAge library.

Whether you are building parts for use inside your own organization or selling your parts commercially, it's a good idea to create an installation program that automates some of the steps of installing the parts.
