Can I use AnswerBook under X11R5(6)?
AnswerBook in its current form requires the Openwindows
server. It uses the NeWS/Display Postscript extensions
to this server to display the Answerbook files.
To use AnswerBook under X11R5 you will need to replace the
docviewer program with program that calls Ghostscript to view
these pages. A replacement docviewer can downloaded from
ftp.ececs.uc.edu (129.137.8.99) as /pub/sun-faq/Source/docviewer.tar.gz
This kit contains more than one docviewer. Try using
the one in the toplevel docviewer directory.
This replacement docviewer does not support all the options that
the "real" docviewer supports such as "hypertext" links.
To install the replacement "docviewer" you will also need
Ghostscript 2.4 or above and Ghostview 1.3 or above both of
which are available from prep.ai.mit.edu in the /pub/gnu directory.
This replacement docviewer is reported to work with all versions
of AnswerBook but not as well as the original :).
