1373.0. "vms 5.2 and bookreader documents???" by FAVAX::CRAWFORD () Tue Sep 05 1989 16:19

  We recently upgraded our cluster to vms 5.2.  One of the users with
  a vaxstation says:
      "after going to VMS 5.2, all of the bookreader documents
       disappeared.  That is, they no longer show when running the
       Decwindows bookreader from the cluster?"
    
  Can someone suggest what might be wrong...is it a problem on the cluster
    or on his particular system.
    
    Thanks for any advice...

    Check the DECW$BOOK logical.  Chances are that the logical isn't
    assigned correctly.
    
    The DECW$BOOK logical should point to the area that the bookreader
    documents live.  Note that this logical must be assigned in the process
    that is running bookreader (be careful if you define it in the process
    table).
    
    Our cluster is up to VMS V5.2, and I'm not having any problems with the
    bookreader.

	Also check to see if the upgrade replaced the LIBRARY.DECW$BOOKSHELF
file in DECW$BOOK.  If it did, all the pointers to your other books may just
have disappeared.  Hopefully you didn't purge during the upgrade, and the old
file is still around - or restore it from your backup...
