1. Install VW7.6nc
Cormas has been developped for the 7.6 non-commercial
version of VisualWorks® (Cincom Systems).
VW must be installed on your computer. As the 7.6 version of VW
is not anymore available on Cincom web site, and
on the condition that you agree not to use Cormas
for commercial purposes, you can directly
download vw7.6nc (version for
Windows) from Cormas site. It is recommended to
unzip the archive directly under the root of your hard drive
to minimize configuration problems that may arise
with recalcitrant OS.
2. Install Cormas (VERSION : Cormas v.2025.06)
2a. Install
Cormas for the first time
Download the latest version of Cormas (cormas2025_Full.zip,
21 MB) of June 2025.
Unzip this Cormas folder into the directory VW7.6nc.
The subdirectory 'cormas' is created. It already
contains the cormas.im
file (instructions are detailed here). Copy
your models in the subdirectory VW7.6nc/cormas/Models/.
(Keep your old version of Cormas. If an older version
of Cormas is already installed on your computer,
you can keep this version. Just change the
directory name 'cormas' to 'cormas_Old' or
whatever.)
or 2b. Update your Cormas
previous version
If Cormas is already installed, do a simple update
by unzipping the cormasParcel-2025.zip
(2 MB) in VW7.6nc/cormas/ directory
(erasing the previous cormas files). Open cormas.im
and select the menu: '?' and 'Update Cormas'.
or 2.c Alternative installation: from Store
When VisualWorks is installed, download Cormas from
the "Public Repository" of Store. From the VW main
window, connect to Store (Menu -> Store ->
Connect to Repository...), then select "Cincom
Public Repository" and Connect. Thus, from Menu ->
Store -> Published items, look for
cormas and load
it.
