Conference vaxuum::online_bookbuilding

    This is my recollection:
    
    With DOCUMENT V1.1, you had to specify docu/cont/index. DOCUMENT gave 
    you a message that the /index qualifier was not needed, then built 
    the book just fine. But if you left out /index, it failed.
    
    With 1.2, DOCUMENT fails if you _USE_ the /index qualifier when there 
    are no index tags. It works OK if you just use doc/cont. 
    
    If you leave in <index_file>, DOCUMENT complains, says it will not
    create a file, but processes the DECW$BOOK just fine. (I guess it means
    the index file.)
    
    Certainly is hard to keep up with the changes -- it seems easiest to
    just use trial and error. 
    
    The latest "Coding Documentation...Bookreader" (June 19, 1989) doesn't 
    talk about changes with V1.2.

    Indeed it works fine without the /INDEX.
    However, now I'm in the trouble where I want to put figures in my
    document file, and use the following input:
    
<FIGURE_FILE>(BOOKREADER\ACB_FIG1.FSE\23.39)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LN03\ACB_FIG1.SIX\23.39)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LINE_PRINTER\SPACE\23.39)
<FIGURE_FILE>(POSTSCRIPT\ACB_FIG1.PS\23.39)
    
    And, of course, it fails whenever I want to process to another output,
    like LN03. Any work-around for this ? (or should I start a new topic ?)
    
    
    Thanx for your help and patience,
    Pierre.

    Pierre,
    
    What fails in .2?  How does it fail?  Please include .LIS or .LOG
    showing error messages in context.

    Ok, here is my source file:
    
<FRONT_MATTER>
<TITLE_PAGE>
<TITLE>(Test file)
<ENDTITLE_PAGE>
<CONTENTS_FILE>
<ENDFRONT_MATTER>
<HEAD1>(Test header\he1)
<COMMENT>(This file was generated by MOPS)
<REFERENCE>(fig) shows 'le regard qui tue'.
<FIGURE>(Jean Gabin\fig)
<FIGURE_FILE>(BOOKREADER\IMG1.FSE\13.7)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LN03\IMG1.SIX\6.4)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LINE_PRINTER\SPACE\6.4)
<FIGURE_FILE>(POSTSCRIPT\IMG1.PS\6.4)
<ENDFIGURE>
<P>
End of the example.
    
    
    Here is the result:

    So the problem is that DOCUMENT V1.2-A doesn't recognize the BOOKREADER
    argument, it uses LN03 default, and takes my FSE file, for a SIXEL
    file, although I need a POSTSCRIPT file.
    The strange thing is that even if I put the line with the BOOKREADER
    argument after all the others, it still fails, because it doesn't stop
    on the first one.
    
    
    Am I doing anything wrong ?
    
    
    Pierre.

Pierre,
	Do you have the latest version of the ONLINE BOOKBUILDING software?
You can check note 64.7 in this conference for details about the latest 
kit.

	Wayne

    I guess so, yes. I _think_ I have installed the save-set from
    VAXUUM::KITS_:[DOCUMENT.V12.SOFTWARE].
    Is there any file I should look at to see if I have the latest version ?
    
    
    Pierre.

Pierre,
	As I looked through note 64 and it's replies, I noticed a 
reference to the file CUP$ONLINE_DEFS.GDX.  I remembered that in order to
let the hardcopy doctypes know about the ONLINE doctypes, you have to use
the following additional qualifier on your DOCUMENT command line.

/SYMBOLS=DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS:CUP$ONLINE_DEFS.GDX

This should do it for you...
