NAME
     answerbook - browse, search, and view on-line documentation

SYNOPSIS
     answerbook [ navigator-options ]

DESCRIPTION
     answerbook starts up navigator(1) (the AnswerBook  Navigator
     window)  on the OpenWindows desktop after performing several
     tasks to initialize the AnswerBook environment.  These tasks
     are  important  to  the proper functioning of the AnswerBook
     software, so navigator should always be invoked via  answer-
     book, rather than invoked directly by the user.

     answerbook performs the following  functions  each  time  it
     runs:

     Verify OpenWindows environment
          Makes sure that $OPENWINHOME is set, that  the  correct
          version of OpenWindows (version 3.3 or greater) is run-
          ning, etc.

     Source answerbook_setup
          If there is an executable sh or ksh shell script called
          "answerbook_setup"  in  the  user's search path, source
          it.  Typically, this file would contain shell  commands
          that  enable  access to shared AnswerBooks available on
          the network.  See the "AnswerBook Administration" guide
          for  more  information on sharing AnswerBooks on a net-
          work.

     Find locally installed AnswerBooks
          If there are any AnswerBooks  installed  on  the  local
          machine,  find  them  (using pkginfo(1) ) and make them
          available to the current AnswerBook session.

     Verify AnswerBooks present
          Make sure there is at least one AnswerBook available to
          the  user  in  the current AnswerBook session.  If not,
          print an error message and exit.

     Create Personal Library
          For first-time  AnswerBook  users,  create  a  personal
          AnswerBook   library   file   ($HOME/.ab_library)  that
          includes all the currently accessible AnswerBooks.  See
          ab_library(4) for more information.

     Start AnswerBook Navigator
          Invoke  navigator(1),  passing  on  any  command   line
          options with which it was invoked.


OPTIONS
     answerbook passes all command line  options  on  to  naviga-
     tor(1).

ENVIRONMENT
     AB_CARDCATALOG
          answerbook makes locally installed AnswerBooks accessi-
          ble  by  appending their card catalog file names to the
          this environment  variable,  which  navigator  uses  in
          assembling  its  list  of  available  AnswerBooks.  See
          ab_cardcatalog(4) for more information.

     OPENWINHOME
          This environment variable must be set appropriately.

FILES
     $HOME/.ab_cardcatalog
          Personal card catalog file.

     $HOME/.ab_library
          Default AnswerBook library file.  Created automatically
          by answerbook for first-time AnswerBook users.

     answerbook_setup
          Shell script containing AnswerBook setup commands, typ-
          ically for enabling access to shared AnswerBooks on the
          network.  If there is a file by this name in the user's
          search path, answerbook sources it.

     /tmp/ab_cardcatalog.*
          Temporary card catalog file occasionally  generated  by
          answerbook  to  facilitate  access to locally installed
          AnswerBooks.

DIAGNOSTICS
     If answerbook finds no AnswerBooks during the initialization
     process,  it  prints  a  message  to  the  console and exits
     without starting up the AnswerBook Navigator.

     ab_library(4)

NOTES
     Pre-Solaris 2.2 AnswerBooks come with answerbook scripts  of
     their  own  that  are customized for that particular Answer-
     Book.  These scripts do not work under OpenWindows 3.2,  and
     are obviated by the new answerbook script.

     AnswerBook  is  a  trademark  of  Sun  Microsystems,   Inc.,
     licensed to SunSoft, Inc.

     The OpenWindows environment may no longer be supported in  a
     future  release.  You may want to migrate to CDE, the Common
     Desktop Environment.
