HELPLIB.HLB  —  INSTALL  /TRANSLATE
    The /TRANSLATE qualifier forces INSTALL to substitute the name of
    a file that you specify as a logical name.

                                   NOTE

       To use this qualifier, however, you must invoke INSTALL as a
       foreign command before you use the /TRANSLATE qualifier:

         $ INSTALL = "$INSTALL"

    Format

      /TRANSLATE

1  –  Description

    The /TRANSLATE command allows you to substitute one file name for
    another. For example, testing a new $ TYPE command is difficult
    because the executable TYPE.EXE, which is used to implement the $
    TYPE DCL command, is buried in the system. However, you can use a
    command like $ DEFINE TYPE MYTYPE to override the standard file
    name TYPE to use your own, MYTYPE.

2  –  Example

  $ INSTALL = "$INSTALL"
  $ DEFINE FILE1 FILE1_EV56
  $ INSTALL/TRANSLATE
  INSTALL>
  ADD SYS$SHARE:FILE1.EXE
  EXIT

      The first command in this example defines FILE1_EV56 as the
      logical name to replace FILE1. The /TRANSLATE command directs
      INSTALL to substitute FILE1_EV56 for FILE1. FILE1_EV56 will be
      installed as a known image. (If /TRANSLATE were not specified,
      SYS$SHARE:FILE1 would be installed.)
