SCOhelp, based on Netscape Navigator Gold
3, is used
to view online topics and other information in UnixWare 7.
This version of SCOhelp is based on Hyper Text Markup Language
(HTML) as was the SCO OpenServer SCOhelp. However,
significant enhancements and changes have been made, including the addition
of the Verity search engine and frames. While SCO OpenServer Release 5 help files
can be viewed with the new SCOhelp, they cannot be migrated directly to
the UnixWare 7 system.
There is no compatibility between either version of SCOhelp and the dtext browser found in SCO UnixWare 2.X.
Because all documentation carried forward from both predecessor operating systems has been converted to the new format, most users will not need to migrate any online documentation.
For those who want to do so, or who want to create their own help files, extensive online help describes the SCOhelp architecture and provides step-by-step instructions for integrating your documentation into the view. See SCOhelp for more details.
The man(1) command on UnixWare 7 is similar to predecessor commands, but also allows for browsing of manual pages in HTML format. nroff or ascii manual pages can be migrated from other operating systems to UnixWare 7. Again, see SCOhelp for information on integrating your manual pages into SCOhelp.
