Printing the PostScript Books

If you prefer to have printed copies of the manuals, you can decompress and print PostScript versions. For the ®le name of each book in the library, see the table in ªDB2 Information ± Hardcopy and Onlineº on page 146. Specify the full path name for the ®le you intend to print.

On OS/2 and Windows platforms:

1.Copy the compressed PostScript ®les to a hard drive on your system. The ®les have a ®le extension of .exe and are located in the x:\doc\language\books\ps directory, where x: is the letter representing the CD-ROM drive and language is the two-character country code that represents your language (for example, EN for English).

2.Decompress the ®le that corresponds to the book that you want. Each compressed book is a self-extracting executable ®le. To decompress the
