2208.0. "Logical for bookreader library?" by TRNING::BARFIELD () Mon Feb 05 1990 17:51

    Is there a logical for defining user-specific library bookshelves
    as default, rather than having to use the file
    decw$book:library.decw$bookshelf as the bookshelf that comes up
    when you start bookreader?
    
    thanks,

	You can use a search-list to define the DECwindows book directory. That way, you can have the Bookreader look for books in the system library and a personal library. For example: $ DEFINE DECW$BOOK SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK],MYDEV:[USERNAME.DECW$BOOK] If the Bookreader is invoked after defining the above logical, it will look for books in both the system library and the user's library. The LIBRARY.DECW$BOOKSHELF files in both location will be merged to create a combined list. Your search-list can be as long as you like--the Bookreader will search all locations for library files to merge. Note that this only works with the VMS V5.3 Bookreader. Adrian

You can use a search-list to define the DECwindows book directory.  That
way, you can have the Bookreader look for books in the system library and
a personal library.

For example:

	$ DEFINE DECW$BOOK SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK],MYDEV:[USERNAME.DECW$BOOK]

If the Bookreader is invoked after defining the above logical, it will look
for books in both the system library and the user's library.  The
LIBRARY.DECW$BOOKSHELF files in both location will be merged to create
a combined list.

Your search-list can be as long as you like--the Bookreader will search all
locations for library files to merge.

Note that this only works with the VMS V5.3 Bookreader.
