316.0. "New on-line documentation available." by HEWIE::RUSSELL (This is the dawning of the age of...) Thu Feb 01 1990 13:02

We've just had a new on-line do. CD delivered, and I've loaded it on
HEWIE.

You may need to re-start your Bookreader for it to realise the new stuff
is there. DFS should take crae of it for you.

Theer is much more documentation available; too much for me to put a list 
in here!!

It includes VMS V5.3 documentation.

We've also recieved on-distribution of VMS v5.3 and *lots* of layered 
products as well - now we need another CD player to run it on!

Peter.

316.1	You need a new license...	HEWIE::RUSSELL	This is the dawning of the age of...	`Thu Feb 01 1990 13:37`	4
	Copy the file BOOKBROWSER.COM from HEWIE::, and execute it to give yourself access to all the new layered product stuff.... Peter.
316.2	Er yes, well.	SOOTY::CLIFFE	Howl at the Moon	`Wed Feb 07 1990 12:25`	16
	Pete, getting errors:- REGISTERing & LOADing BookBrowser PAK %LICENSE-F-BADLDB, error reading license database SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE .LDB; -RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation %LICENSE-F-NOLDB, error opening license database SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.

316.3	Ah!! see the flowchart below..	HEWIE::RUSSELL	I should have got a Duracell!!	`Wed Feb 07 1990 12:36`	27
	1) Try to access Bookreader -- but --- fails because no license... 2) Try to register PAK --- but --- fails because no privilege.. so... a number of choices a) (and the one I prefer) - contact a consultant in writing, in triplicate, in pencil, on the back of �10 pound notes, and they'll register it for you. b) Re-boot your workstation (this will pick up the latest licenses) c) call one of us, and we'll do it for you... You're lucky, I'm reading this as I eat my lunch, so I'll do it now... Peter.
316.4	What about BASIC ?	SOOTY::CLIFFE	Howl at the Moon	`Wed Feb 07 1990 14:59`	11
	Yippee ! Pete's magic presence made it work. So look through list. Ada, Pascal, Fortran, Lisp, C and lots of other DECW* thinngies. Unfortunatley, we still use BASIC ! Have I missed it somewhere or does it not exist in bookreader format ?
316.5		SHAPES::ALFORDJ	Ice a speciality	`Wed Feb 07 1990 17:43`	6
	haven't you heard ? the most commonly used language in digital is not used ! follow that logic if you can, 'cause I can't :-)
316.6	Give it time...	HEWIE::RUSSELL	I should have got a Duracell!!	`Thu Feb 08 1990 09:44`	18
	The official party line runs alonmg the lines "More product documentation will appear on the CD's as time goes by." Realistically, this means that documentation produced via Document will appear quite quickly, because (as we know, and make use of!) it's relatively easy to produce Bookreader output. However, some "older" products (like FMS, and maybe BASIC...) last had a major document revision before Document was widely used. Therefore the manual sources are not available to easily translate. Your guess is as good as mine as to if or when they'll get done.... This also means the RSTS stuff isn't available on-line, either... Peter.
