299.0. "Online Training Using Bookreader" by 16257::DEMON::ZIMMERMAN () Fri Mar 16 1990 17:20

I'd like to use Bookreader to develop some online training.  
Some questions:

1. Are there any potential problems if I start to develop the
book using VAX DOCUMENT V1.1 and switch part way through to
V1.2B? 

We already have UTOX V3.0-1 and RAGS T3.0 on our system.  What
other Bookbuilding tools am I missing if we don't have V1.2B?

2. Are there any ways to control:

   a. the width of the Bookreader window?

   b. where pop-up windows appear on the display?

   c. where the Bookreader window appears on the display?

3. What are the differences in output between ONLINE.REFERENCE 
and ONLINE.HANDBOOK?

4. Are there any ways to hide the level of detail in the table of 
contents (e.g., only have head 1 and 2 levels appear)?

Any help in answering these questions will be appreciated.

    1. I don't think there should be any problems but advise upgrading
       as soon as possible. The V1.1 online tools were released a year
       ago and are no longer supported (so if you *do* have problems,
       the recommended solution will be "upgrade").
    
       You should have everything you need. Check note 64.whatever that
       announces that release of the online tools. It lists the software
       you need.
      
    2. No, to a., b., and c. Can't control the width or placement of
       the Bookreader's windows. There is some discussion about these
       questions and wishlist items in the BOOKREADER notes conference
       on BULOVA.
    
    3. The differences between online.reference and online.handbook are
       pretty slight. Mainly, online.handbook provides support for some
       special syntax formats that layered products require. There are
       also some differences in some of the fonts specs. 
    
    4. No, can't hide the level of detail in the TOC, without modifying
       the doctype.
