Here's a sample build of the database.

1. Start with a simple record-per-person text file.  You will have to write
a description of the field position to field number mapping using the field
numbers in the configuration file.  A sample file is EM411.TXT and is
described by EM411.QI_MAKE using the field descriptions in DATABASE.CNF.

[file EM411.TXT]
TANNER,BRUCE G                TANNER      COMPUTER SERVICES   SR SYSTEMS PROG    216401327


2. Run QI_MAKE to format the file from (1) as a record-per-field file,
   DATABASE.DAT.  QI_MAKE reads EM411.TXT and EM411.QI_MAKE and writes
   DATABASE.DAT.  The employee number (01327) is added to a base (811000000)
   to make the ID field.  See QI_MAKE.DOC.

   $ QI_MAKE := $device:[path]QI_MAKE
   $ QI_MAKE EM411.TXT DATABASE.DAT

3. Run QI_ADD_SOUNDEX to add the soundex information to the database.
   See QI_ADD_SOUNDEX.DOC.

  $ QI_ADD_SOUNDEX := $device:[path]QI_ADD_SOUNDEX
  $ QI_ADD_SOUNDEX DATABASE.DAT


4. Run QI_ADD_ALIAS to add an alias field to the database.
   See QI_ADD_ALIAS.DOC.

  $ QI_ADD_ALIAS := $device:[path]QI_ADD_ALIAS
  $ QI_ADD_ALIAS DATABASE.DAT


5. Run QI_BUILD to create the .INDEX and .DATA files:
   BUILD reads DATABASE.DAT and DATABASE.CNF (Not CSO_CONFIG) and creates
   DATABASE.INDEX and DATABASE.DATA.  See QI_BUILD.DOC.

  $ QI_BUILD := $device:[path]QI_BUILD
  $ QI_BUILD DATABASE.DAT /DATA


6. Point the CSO logical names to the files:

 $ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC CSO_CONFIG device:[path]DATABASE.CNF
 $ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC CSO_INDEX device:[path]DATABASE.INDEX
 $ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC CSO_DATA device:[path]DATABASE.DATA
 $ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC CSO_LOG device:[path]QI.LOG
 $ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC CSO_SITEINFO device:[path]SITEINFO.TXT
 $ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC CSO_DOMAIN my.domain
 $ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC CSO_MAILDOMAIN my.domain
 $ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC CSO_HELPLIB device:[path.]/TRANSLATE=CONCEAL

7. Create the help file directories:

 $ CREATE/DIRECTORY CSO_HELPLIB:[NATIVE]
 $ CREATE/DIRECTORY CSO_HELPLIB:[PH]
 $ CREATE/DIRECTORY CSO_HELPLIB:[<any other client that uses help>]

8. Set up the QI server, as described in WHAT.TXT.

9. Set up a gopher link to the QI server:

Name=Phone Book
Type=2
Path=
Port=105
Host=+


10. Run Gopher or PH (available from ftp.cso.uiuc.edu) or telnet to query the
server:

$ telnet /port=105 cerritos.edu
Trying... Connected to CERRITOS.EDU.
