Spires Session Installer for Samson
On this page:
Description
The Spires Session Installer for Samson is for use with Samson for Windows 5.1 on Windows XP or 2000. It can be used to open a Samson session on the Spires computer, the host UNIX machine that will run SPIRES, Prism, and other legacy applications from the Forsythe mainframe.
System Requirements
- Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP or 2000
- Download file size: 306 KB
- Samson for Windows 5.1 must be installed
- PC-Leland 2.0 or higher must be installed (for authenticating to most Stanford host computers)
Notes
To use the installer, double-click the SpiresSession.exe icon.
- The installer places a small file called spires.stanford.edu inside the "Samson
Sessions" folder. It is then available as a session that can be selected from
the Connect command.
- When the session is selected, your PC will present you with the PC-Leland network login dialog box (if you are not already logged in), open a session window, establish a connection to the Spires computer, and either put you in General Access Prism (most users will see that) or log you into the machine as a Unix user if your SUNet ID matches a custom Unix account created for you on the Spires machine.
