Viewing Online AnswerBook2 Documentation

An AnswerBook^TM collection is a set of documents that you can view using a browser. Users can share AnswerBook collections across a network through a web-browser-based interface. You can use the AnswerBook2 system as you would any library; you can browse, search, bookmark, and print the information.

To support AnswerBook2, a new script has been added to your operating system. This script does not replace the existing AnswerBook script. The existing AnswerBook script works as it always has, but tells you there is a new script (AnswerBook2) to use to view the documentation. If you run the AnswerBook product, you will be able to view only some subset of Solaris 7 documentation. If you run the AnswerBook2 script, you will be able to view all Solaris 7 documentation installed on your default document server.

For information on how to define your default document server, get started using the AnswerBook2 product, or install an AnswerBook2 document server, see the module "Accessing Online Documentation" in Solaris 7 (SPARC Platform Edition) Installation Library or Solaris 7 (Intel Platform Edition) Installation Library.

If you do not have access to an AnswerBook2 document server or do not want to install an AnswerBook2 document server locally, you can view all released Solaris documentation at http://docs.sun.com. If you want to install an AnswerBook2 server on your machine, you can run a document server directly from the Solaris 7 Documentation CD. For more information on running a document server directly from the Documentation CD, see the module "Accessing Online Documentation" in Solaris 7 (SPARC Platform Edition) Installation Library or Solaris 7 (Intel Platform Edition) Installation Library.
