Instructions for Installing the KDITOOLS Library

The KDITOOLS library is packaged as an AS/400 save file which has been zipped to reduce the size of the file in order to improve download speeds and reduce network traffic.

1.	Download the required zipped files to your PC. Each zip file will contain a single AS/400 save file object

2.	Unzip the file into a directory on your PC using your favourite unzip tool. For example: *UNZIP file-name.ZIP* (where "file-name" is the name of the zip file.)
	Note: The unzipped file may be up to 3 times larger than the zipped version so please ensure you have enough space on your PC hard drive.

3.	Transfer the unzipped save files to your AS/400 or iSeries system via FTP. Start a command window and then chang to the directory containing the unzipped save file. Start FTP to your AS/400 or iSeries host and transfer the save file by issuing the following commands. Replace the words "host-system", "user-profile", "password", and "file-name" with appropriate values for your environment.
		FTP host-system user-profile password quote site namefmt 1 cd /QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB bin put file-name.savf quit
4.	Now it is time to clean up your PC by deleting the zipped files and the unzipped save files from your PC.

5.	Next, create an empty KDITOOLS library.
	CRTLIB	LIB(KDITOOLS)
6.	The last thing to do is to restore the KDITOOLS library.
	RSTOBJ	OBJ(ALL) SAVLIB(KDITOOLS) DEV(SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/KDITOOLS) MBROPT(ALL) ALWOBJDIF(ALL)

Using RGZPFM+

1.	First you will need to add the KDITOOLS library to your library list.
	ADDLIBLE	LIB(KDITOOLS)
2.	Next, you need to call the utility, passing in the name of a library to compress.
	CALL	PGM(KRGZPFM) PARM(library-name)
