AnswerBook2 Pieces and Parts

The AnswerBook2 product consists of the following elements:

• 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. For information on installing a documentation server, see "Installing the Server Software". For information about administering a documentation server, see Chapter 3, Administering an AnswerBook2 Server.

• Document collections -- Can be new (SGML) documents or old (Display PostScript^TM) documents. For information about installing document collections onto your server, see "Installing Document Collections onto the Server".

• A client web browser -- To view the documentation, users can use any HTML 3.2-compliant browser. For information about viewing documentation, see Viewing Online Documentation Using the AnswerBook2 System. To enable users to access your documentation server, either you need to register the server with Federated Naming Service (FNS) or the users need to know your server's URL. For information about registering your server with FNS, see "Registering Your Documentation Server".
