65.0. "DECW$BOOKSHELF question" by TALLIS::FSULLIVAN () Thu Jan 19 1989 13:45

    I just put two of my books on BOOKREADER, and all went well. My
    question is how do I put together a bookshelf for a product/subject.
    
    I used the "Coding Source files for DECwindows Bookreader" as my
    guide to preparing my SDML files, and noted its emphasis on a
    .DECW$BOOKSHELF file. I was also relieved that DOCUMENT produced
    one for each book, but how is a product-wide bookshelf done.
    
    Is there a switch to DOCUMENT to specify that an individual book
    goes with a bookshelf, do we append to or create a .DECW$BOOKSHELF
    using an editor.
    
    Many Thanks

	For now, this has to be done manually (i.e. using an editor). Add a line to the bookshelf you want to be the parent shelf, something like: SHELF\PROJECT.DECW$BOOKSHELF\Project Bookshelf Title (Make sure the line starts with "SHELF" and you put the filename between two "\" characters or the Bookreader will get upset.) Then create the file, PROJECT.DECW$BOOKSHELF, and append the entries for each of the books in the shelf. Look at the *.DECW$BOOKSHELF files in the online documentation kit for v5.1. joe
