1.0  INSTALLING JAVAHELP AND JRE
__________________________________________

The release levels are the following:
o  Java 2 Runtime Environment:  JRE 1.3.1 or higher
o  JavaHelp 1.1 or higher

The TPF test team did the following
to install all two components:

1)  Verified that 35 MB of hard disk space was free.

2)  Download and install Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.3.1 or higher
    from http://java.sun.com/j2se/

3)  Download and install JavaHelp 1.1 or higher
    from http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/

2.0  INSTALLING THE TPF MERGE TOOL
____________________________________

Double-click the accompanying tpfmerge.exe file.
For example, the folder can be C:\MERGE

The tpfmerge.exe file will define all the files in the appropriate
directories for you under C:\MERGE.

3.0  CUSTOMIZING THE BATCH FILE
_________________________________

1)  Locate the batch file, merge.bat
    Look for it under path\IBM\TPF\TPFMERGE\
    (where "path" is the path where you targeted the tpfmerge.exe
    file; for example, C:\MERGE).

2)  Edit the merge.bat file.

3)  Change the following two environment variables:

    o  Set JAVA_HOME=path where you installed Java 2 Runtime Environment
       (from Section 1.0).
    o  Set JHHOME=path where you installed JavaHelp
       (from Section 1.0).
    o  Set MERGE_HOME=path where you targeted the tpfmerge.exe file
       (from Section 2.0).

4)  The MAX_MEMORY environment variable is set to '32m'.
    If you are merging very large files, you may have to increase
    this value to avoid getting an OutOfMemoryError message.

5)  Save and close the merge.bat file.

4.0  RUNNING THE TPF MERGE TOOL
_________________________________

Double-click merge.bat
---or---
Type merge
(Type merge at the DOS prompt, under path\IBM\TPF\TPFMERGE\
where your merge.bat file is located).
