176.0. "read VMS doc CD on Unix?" by DV780::LANGFELDT (Coloradical) Tue Feb 11 1997 11:48

    
    Just a comment from a person in the field...
    
    We are trying to get a customer to move from a non-Digital Unix
    to OpenVMS on Alpha.  They have asked to look at the documentation
    for system management.  I located a CD.  Can it be read from a 
    Unix system?  I can't read it from mine, except in Bookreader.
    (Bookreader is not available on non-Digital Unix platforms.)
    
    Thanks,
    
    Sharon

	Not at present. Over the next year or two, a lot of documentation will be available in HTML, but not all of it and not right away. Steve
176.2	System Manager's Manual is in HTML	EVMS::NOEL		`Tue Feb 11 1997 14:29`	25
	From: JARETH::TSHERLOCK "Terry Sherlock \| 381-0158 \| ZKO3-4/X56" 11-FEB-1997 14:28:29.43 To: EVMS::NOEL CC: TSHERLOCK Subj: doc questions karen-- it might be possible to read the HTML files on the OVMS doc CD by pointing to the doc CD with aunix browser. the cd rom is ISO9660 format, but the file structure might not be readable on a unix system. not having a unix system handy, i can't test this theory. on the other hand, the OVMS system mgr docs are available on our external server (www.openvms.digital.com:81); potential customers can browse the following: OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual OpenVMS System Manager's Manual as well as 19 other documents. --terry
176.3	Should Work Fine	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Tue Feb 11 1997 16:22`	6
	V7.1 includes HTML, and -- most UNIX systems can -- the ISO9660 disk can be accessed from UNIX. Otherwise, the files can be served to UNIX from OpenVMS. Or -- ignoring the legal issues -- copied to UNIX or a PC, and accessed from there.
