1.4Online Documentation

The documentation for the Tru64 UNIX operating system, including the reference pages, is available on the Tru64 UNIX Documentation CD–ROM in formats that are readable with a Web browser or with the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

This documentation, as well as documentation for associated applications, is also available on the World Wide Web (see Section 1.4.2). Most of the features that are available on the Documentation CD–ROM, such as the links to other documentation, are also available on the Web.

If you are working on a Compaq Alpha™ system, the operating system provides a Netscape browser for viewing the HTML documentation. If you want to view the documentation on a Windows PC or Macintosh, you will need a browser that supports frames and JavaScript Version 1.1, such as Version 4.0 or higher of Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

To view the PDF files, you need to install Version 3.0 or higher of the Adobe Acrobat Reader or the Reader plug-in to your Web browser. The Documentation CD–ROM provides the Acrobat Reader for Tru64 UNIX systems, Windows PCs, Macintosh, and several other platforms. You can also obtain the latest version directly from the Adobe Systems Inc. Web site:
