General User Documentation
This chapter describes the general user documentation, which provides
information for all users of the Tru64 UNIX operating system. The books in
this category provide introductory information for people who are unfamiliar
with Tru64 UNIX, as well as advanced information for the experienced user.
Each document is individually described.
Printed books can be purchased from Compaq in the documentation kits
described in Section 1.5.
Except for a few externally published manuals, the documentation described
here was produced by Compaq writers working closely with the developers of
the Tru64 UNIX operating system.
Books identified as revised, were updated with the Version 5.1A release.
2.1 Printed and Online Documentation
The documentation described in this section is provided on the Tru64 UNIX
Documentation CD–ROM and in the optional printed documentation kits.

The CDE Companion provides an introduction to Compaq’s implementation
of the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), an easy method of interacting

For users migrating from DECwindows Motif to CDE, this book serves as an
introduction to the new environment, providing information on how to use
CDE to complete tasks previously done by using DECwindows.
For users who are new to desktop environments, this book provides
quick-start information on topics such as logging into the system, navigating
the system, and using and managing the desktop and applications.
