4593.0. "Documentation sources for UNIX SRM Consoles?" by HELIX::WELLCOME (Steve Wellcome MRO1-1/L31 Pole HJ33) Wed May 15 1996 10:49

    I'm going to need to write some documentation for a UNIX SRM
    console.  It's my understanding that "somewhere" in Digital
    there is an exhaustive set of sources for all conceivable 
    SRM console commands, and when one wants to document a particular 
    SRM console one extracts the relevant files from this source
    pool and combines them into a manual.
    
    Can anybody furnish more detail on this, like am I totally
    misinformed, or where this source pool is?
    
    Thanks,
    	Steve

	Sorry, it not that simple! There are several different SRM console source pools floating around the company. None are kept in sync. There are major differences in functionality and appearence between the various version. Be careful not to make any assumptions from looking from a small sample. -Paul

	I thought he was asking about the sources for the documentation, not for the software. - Vikas

	The SRM console is already documented in various hardware reference manuals. While some orgainization have done a good job, other organization have provided only limited documentation. The Alpha SRM documents the lowest common demoninator, after which all consoles diverge. Good Luck! -Paul
