834.0. "Documentation Confusion" by 41262::ESBECK (Declan Van Esbeck) Wed May 24 1989 10:37

    Can someonw answer the following queries re DECWindows documentation:
    
    1] Is DECWindows doc supplied with the VMS 5.1 doc kit? Specifically,
    does the documentation come in hardcopy or assume that the bookreader
    will be used?
    
    2] What is the situation with Ultrix. Specifically, the bookreader
    is not yet availble under Ultrix?
    
    3] There appears to be two sets of DECWindows documentation, one
    tailored for end-user the other for software developers. If the
    DECWindows doc is supplied with VMS, I assume that the programmers
    documentation is ordered seperately.
    
    4] How does question 3 apply to Ultrix?

834.1Clarification for VMS - from VMS Product ManagementSTAR::STEEVESGo Mondo Balto!Wed May 24 1989 11:0731
    1] Is DECWindows doc supplied with the VMS 5.1 doc kit? Specifically,
    does the documentation come in hardcopy or assume that the bookreader
    will be used?

The VMS DECw USERs kit is supplied w/ 5.1 - hardcopy.

(online books must be purchased separately on CD - ALTHOUGH the bookREADER
 is provided free w/ DECwindows.)

 
    2] What is the situation with Ultrix. Specifically, the bookreader
    is not yet availble under Ultrix?

The bookreader is NOT yet available under Ultrix

    3] There appears to be two sets of DECWindows documentation, one
    tailored for end-user the other for software developers. If the
    DECWindows doc is supplied with VMS, I assume that the programmers
    documentation is ordered seperately.

This is true - the users kit is provided with VMS - the programming kit is
ordered separately. (the assumption is that the majority of DW audience is
user-level not programmers.)

   
    4] How does question 3 apply to Ultrix?
    

Not sure.  Thought it was the same but have recently heard differing rumors.

This isn't an official answer or anything, but when I got my Ultrix doc set, it
contained both the user-level and programmer-level docs.

    Is the VMS DECwindows documentation orderable separately?
