Siren installation

I'm trying to install Siren in VisualWorks 7.5.  The trouble is, I'm not
only new to Siren, but also new to VW.  So I'm stuck at the very
beginning, at installation.

The instuctions on the Siren website have the following.

I presume this mans that the PostgreSQL package is not in the
Siren7.5.zip download, but should be installed from the VW store
server.  I did that successfully.

But for BOSS: is there supposed to be a BOSS package in the Siren7.5.zip
download, or am I supposed to get BOSS from the VW store?  I don't see
any BOSS package in the Siren7.5 directories, but maybe I just don't
know where to look.  At the VW store the only BOSS package I see is
"BOSSClassMappings".  Is that what I should load?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding, I'm on a concert tour in China at the
moment.

To answer your question, yes, BOSS and all the other packages mentioned in
the build script are parts of the VW release (i.e., they're on the VW
CD-ROM and are loaded using the package manager, not in the Siren ZIP
file), or are on the Cincom Store site. Take a look at Arden's script
(attached).

You don't have to build the image from scratch, though; the Siren ZIP file
has a pre-configured VW virtual image (Siren7.5.{im,cha}) that ought to
work for you out of the box.

The instructions on the Siren website have the following.

To build Siren, you start with a 7.5 VisualWorks Smalltalk virtual image
and load the following packages from the release file set,
    Store/PostgreSQL
    BOSS
    DLLCC
    Advanced Tools
    HTTP
    XMLTools
    ComposedTextEditor
