157.0. "%BOOKREADR-F-NODEFAULTLIB, error opening default library shelf" by FUTURA::MCNULTY (Earth: The hostess, not the meal.) Fri Jun 23 1989 10:50

If LIBRARY.DECW$BOOKSHELF contains a blank line the following error will be
encountered and the BOOKREADER will not come up. This was really tough to
figure out! When the blank line is removed everything is fine.

157.1	don't edit the bookshelf	STAR::KRAETSCH	NeXt Window Please	`Mon Jun 26 1989 19:11`	10
	This is precisely why editing the bookshelf files is not encouraged (technically, it's not supported). In the future, the bookshelf will be a binary file and you will not be able to edit it. In the nearer future, there will be a bookshelf doctype which will create a bookshelf file from an .sdml file. joe
157.2	Supported update method for LIBRARY.DECW$BOOKSHELF?	WOOK::LEE	Wook... Like 'Book' with a 'W'	`Fri Jun 30 1989 16:53`	6
	What is the plan for product installations where the new book needs to be added to the library already on the system? Just an interested bystander, Wook
