delivery using SGML and to display existing AnswerBook1
documents. Also, the AnswerBook2 product supports a client-server
model, where the documents can be kept on a central server and
users only need a web browser to view them.
Can I still view my
old AnswerBook
collections with
AnswerBook2?
Yes, unless your old AnswerBook documents were created before
the release of the Solaris 2.2 operating system. To add AnswerBook1
collections to the AnswerBook2 server’s database, use the
AnswerBook2 “add collection” function and point to the directory
containing the AnswerBook1 ab_cardcatalog file.
Does AnswerBook2
provide the same
functionality for
AnswerBook1 and
AnswerBook2
documents?
No. For consistency, the AnswerBook2 interface for AnswerBook1
documents is similar to the AnswerBook1 product interface. Thus,
the AnswerBook2 product provides the following differences in
functionality for AnswerBook1 and AnswerBook2 collections:
You cannot expand or collapse an entire AnswerBook1 table of
contents listing; you can only expand or collapse a specific
section within the table of contents.
AnswerBook1 content pages do not include Other Topics sections.
To navigate from one page to another, you can use the Next Topic
link or return to the Table of Contents and select another section
in the book.
AnswerBook1 content pages display the entire chapter at one
time, not smaller sections.
Search results are not presented in a hierarchical structure for
AnswerBook1 books.
Search results icons poorly represent the probability of a match
for AnswerBook1 information; the icons tend to be either
completely filled or completely empty.
Search terms are not highlighted in AnswerBook1 text.
Some AnswerBook1 graphics cannot be displayed inline; they are
identified by an icon that, when clicked on, brings up a PostScript
display of the graphic.
Where’s the Documentation?
For the Solaris 2.6 operating system release, the document server software and
document collections are on the Documentation CD. Figure 9–6 through Figure 9–4
list the specific document collections available and identify those documents that are
available only in hardcopy (printed) format.
