1.4 Online 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:
