Overview

This document provides introductory information about the 
HP Tru64 UNIX Online Documentation Library (ODL) CD-ROM.  
It provides general and platform-specific installation 
and user information for the ODL.

The Tru64 UNIX ODL CD-ROM is an ISO 9660 Level 2 (ODL-ISO) 
compliant CD-ROM that can be run from Microsoft Windows 
and Tru64 UNIX platforms.

This disc contains documentation in HTML and PDF format, 
and uses HTML pages as the navigation mechanism to browse 
to and display documents.  A search engine is also 
included for full text searching.

Note:  The Bookreader CD-ROM set (ODL-BKB), which is the 
       archive set containing documentation in Bookreader 
       format only, is now available online as a download-
       able image at the following location, along with 
       Getting Started instructions -

*  Windows 98 SE, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP
*  Web Browser
*  Adobe Acrobat Reader
*  Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.3 or later (for search)



Mounting the ODL-ISO CD-ROM


Windows Platforms:

*  Insert the ODL-ISO disc into your CD-ROM drive.


Tru64 UNIX Platforms:

*  If you are using Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0 or higher, you 
   can mount the Tru64 ODL-ISO CD-ROM using the following 
   command.  Where /mnt_point is the mount point directory 
   for the CD-ROM.

   # mount  r  /dev/disk/cdrom0c  /mnt_point

*  For earlier versions of Tru64 UNIX (Digital UNIX), you 
   can mount the CD-ROM by specifying the -t cdfs and -o rrip 
   options to the mount command, as follows:

   # mount r  -t  cdfs  -o  noversion  /dev/rz*c  /mnt_point



Browsing the ODL-ISO 

To begin browsing the ODL-ISO CD-ROM, open index.htm from the 
root of the CD-ROM in your web browser.

For a listing of products available on this CD-ROM, open 
prodlist.htm from the \odldoc folder on the CD-ROM or click on 
the link from contents.htm.  This page also includes a listing 
of static documentation available on the Tru64 UNIX Bookreader 
CD-ROM.



Searching ODL-ISO


- Searching on Windows platforms:

The main ODL page should display and the ASTAware SearchDisc 
search engine should launch when the disc is inserted into the 
drive.  If it does not, run the SDWinjava.bat file from the 
root of the CD-ROM.  The ASTAware SearchDisc icon should appear 
in your taskbar when the search engine is running.

You can enter a search query in the search box from any ODL 
navigation page on the CD-ROM.

**IMPORTANT**  You must shut down the search engine by clicking 
the SearchDisc icon in your taskbar, before you eject the CD-ROM 
from your drive.  This should also be done before putting in 
another CD-ROM to search.


- Searching on Tru64 UNIX platforms:

Change directory to the CD-ROM mount point, and execute the 
following shell script:

	searchdisc_unix.sh

This will launch the SearchDisc server and will set up the 
communication ports. Launch your web browser and open index.htm 
from your CD-ROM mount point.

You can enter a search query in the search box from any ODL 
navigation page on the CD-ROM.

***IMPORTANT**  You must shut down the search engine by clicking 
in the SearchDisc popup window, before you eject the CD-ROM from 
your drive.



Configuring Search for ODL on a Hard Drive (Windows Platforms Only)

If you choose to copy the ODL-ISO CD-ROM content to a hard drive, 
you will need to reconfigure the search engine to retrieve search 
results from the new location. 

*  Copy the entire CD-ROM to an area on a hard drive.  For example, 
   C:\ODL

*  Run MediaSwitcher.exe from the area you copied the CD-ROM to.  
   This will reconfigure the search engine to search and retrieve 
   search results from the new ODL-ISO location.  This executable 
   is located at the root of the CD-ROM.

   Note:  Be sure that the search engine is shut down before 
          proceeding.  To shut the search engine down, click on 
          the SearchDisc icon in your taskbar, and click yes when 
	  asked if you would like to shut down the search engine.

*  Enter the path where you copied your ODL CD-ROM to in the 
   "Select the SearchDisc Installation Folder" box.  For example, 
   if you copied the CD-ROM to your C: drive in a folder named ODL, 
   enter C:\ODL here.  Click Next.

*  Enter the path again where you copied your ODL CD-ROM to in the 
   "Select the Search Documents Folder" box.  Click Install.

*  Restart the search engine by starting autolaunch.exe from the 
   new location.  

Known Issue:  The installer used for the Media Switch Utility, 
described above, is not currently supported for all language 
settings.   If your language is not supported, you will receive an 
error stating, Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported, when 
attempting to run MediaSwitcher.exe from the root of the ODL 
collection on your hard drive.  

You can use either of the following workarounds to address this:

Create a network drive of the directory where the ODL CD-ROM was 
copied to, making it appear as a virtual drive.  From there, open 
autolaunch.exe.

Temporarily change your regional settings on your computer to US 
English, run the MediaSwitcher.exe, then change the settings back 
to your original settings.
