114.0. "Bookreader for Win95/NT?" by POMPY::LESLIE (andy@reboot.demon.co.uk) Thu Jan 30 1997 13:49

    Is there a bookreader for Win95/NT? Perhaps as part of ARGUS?
    
    I checked the FAQ, etc, but I guess the answer is "no", but please
    confirm here.

    Nope, looked there.

    lots of folks (customers in particular) have asked this question in
    the past and during Decus events, and it was always *no* (yeah, maybe
    in the beginning somebody thought it might happen).
    
    The main reason for this is to read manuals/docs, but since also 
    OpenVMS engineering is moving with the crowd, a majority of the OpenVMS
    doc will be available in .html format, hence the chances of getting a
    bookreader out on a PC are very slim as far as I can see.

    SOunds eminently reasoanable to me - I look forward to seeing html
    format on the 7.2 CD.
114.5OpenVMS Documentation in HTMLXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringThu Jan 30 1997 17:1325
:    SOunds eminently reasoanable to me - I look forward to seeing html
:    format on the 7.2 CD.

   The V7.1 CD-ROMs contain a large number of HTML files.

   Copies of the V7.1 CD-ROM HTML-format files should be available shortly
   for those sites that need to access these files offline -- Digital sites
   that have direct access to the internal network should use the existing
   docset web servers.

   The most current copies of the documentation -- this site and these
   documents are continuously being updated -- are located at:

	http://vmsnt3.zko.dec.com/
	http://axiom.zko.dec.com:8000/docset/

   [If you are a Digital-internal site that is interested in mirroring
   the docset site, let me know and I'll get you in contact with the
   right folks here in OpenVMS...]

   Customer-accessable HTML-format documentation files are located at:

	http://www.openvms.digital.com:81/

    Not on the PC at home. Ideally when I'm providing support fom hom I
    just want to slot in the CD and lookit. With the 7.*1* CD (thanks for
    the earlier correction) I'll be able to do that.

114.8How to access customer-accessable books....KAOFS::R_DAVEYRobin Davey CSC/CTH dtn 772-7220Fri Jan 31 1997 12:4118

    When I tried accessing this data I got the following error.  I assume
    a customer would get the same thing.  How does one access this.
    
    >>>   Browsing is not permitted in that directory
    
    >>>   HTTP status code: 403 
    
    
    Thanks,

   The external servers are temporarily down.

   There is presently some administrative/legal wrangling being resolved.

   No, I don't know when they'll be back up.
