Expanding the System Libraries  



Some of the larger system libraries ship with the OpenVMS operating system in a data-reduced (compressed) format. Expanding (that is, decompressing) these libraries gives the system faster access to them, but also consumes more disk space. Reduced and Expanded Library Sizes lists the libraries that ship in data-reduced format on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 and shows the approximate sizes of the libraries in both data-reduced and expanded format.
NoteFile sizes are subject to change. For the most accurate information, run the Library Decompression utility (LIBDECOMP.COM) on your own system and review the output from the list function. To run the utility, enter the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:LIBDECOMP

To expand all the libraries, you would need approximately 60,000 free disk blocks. However, you can choose to expand only selected libraries. For complete details about expanding and reducing system library files and using LIBDECOMP.COM, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
