Viewing Sun WorkShop Document Collections

Sun WorkShop includes AnswerBook2 document collections. If you chose not to install the Sun WorkShop AnswerBook2 document collections when you installed Sun WorkShop, you must install the document collections to view them. To install the AnswerBook2 document collections, click the checkbox next to WS AnswerBook2 Document Collections 5.0 in the workshop_install GUI (see Chapter 3, Installing Software for more information).

Sun WorkShop document collections are SGML documents accessed through the AnswerBook2 Documentation Server. You can use your web-browser interface (HTML 3.2 compliant, such as Netscape Navigator^TM) to search, browse, and print Sun WorkShop document collections. Sun WorkShop document collections provide the same information as printed Sun WorkShop documentation.

The workshop-answerbooks command is obsolete and will not launch the AnswerBook2 Documentation Server.

To view Sun WorkShop document collections, you need:

• An AnswerBook2 Documentation Server (a machine on which the AnswerBook2 Documentation Server software packages are installed)

• The URL for your AnswerBook2 Documentation Server

• A browser

• Sun WorkShop AnswerBook2 document collections added to your AnswerBook2 Documentation Server
