          KIT INSTALLATION

          Prior to installing the online documentation savesets, you
          must define the logical name DECW$BOOK, indicating the lo-
          cation from which the Bookreader will access the online man-
          uals. By default, the Bookreader will look for these files
          in the directory named SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$BOOK]. If you wish
          to store the online documentation files in another direc-
          tory, you must redefine the logical name DECW$BOOK to point
          to that new location. For example, to store the online doc-
          umentation in the directory SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK], enter
          the command


               $ DEFINE  DECW$BOOK SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK]

          The Bookreader software now groups books into shelves and
          libraries for more efficient navigation through large col-
          lections of online manuals. The FT2 Update installation pro-
          cedure creates the required library file and installs the
          FT2 Update online documentation files. The FT2 Update on-
          line documentation kit must be installed prior to using the
          FT2 Update Bookreader software.

          The online documentation saveset should be installed us-
          ing the standard VMSINSTAL procedure. To begin the instal-
          lation procedure, enter the command

               $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DECWBKFT2UPD000 device-name

          where device-name is the device from which you are load-
          ing the savesets.

          You may install all of the manuals, or select each manual
          individually, as prompted by the installation procedure.
          You will be asked to verify the definition of the logical
          name DECW$BOOK before the procedure copies any savesets to
          the target directory. The installation procedure will set
          up the Bookreader library file and the online documenta-
          tion files in the DECW$BOOK directory currently defined on
          your system.

          are highly DIGITAL CONFIDENTIAL. Do not discuss the con-
          tents of the field test or any of the specifications with
