The AnswerBook2 product consists of the following elements:
A client web browser -- The Solaris 7 release includes the NetscapeTM browser; however, you can use any HTML 3.2-compliant browser to view Sun's online documentation. To view Solaris 7 documentation, you need to know the URL for a documentation server or you can view all released Solaris documentation at http://docs.sun.com.
If you just want to view online documentation, you only need this element. All other elements are part of the documentation server system.
A documentation server -- Performs query functions and "serves" documents to the client browser. Includes templates that provide a common "look and feel" for document viewing and printing; and provides both web-browser and command-line administration interfaces that perform database, password authentication, and other administrative functions.
Document collections -- Can be new (SGML) documents or old (Display PostScript) documents.
