Online documentation and Release Notes

For a description of new features and changes in
InterBase 5, use Acrobat Reader to view the
ReleaseNotes.pdf file.  In addition, the complete
5-volume document set for InterBase 5 is available
in PDF format with InterBase 5.

Use Adobe Acrobat Reader 3 to view these PDF files.
To take advantage of the full-search indexing for the
document set, you need Acrobat Reader 3.0.1 (or later)
With Search. This version of Reader is included on
your InterBase 5 CD-ROM. You can also download it from
http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html
If you go directly to this Adobe site, be sure to
download the version "With Search", not the plain
version.

ACCESSING THE DOCUMENT SET:  You can open any of the
books directly from the InterBase 5 folder in the
Start menu if you have Acrobat Reader already installed
and the PDF extension is associated with Acrobat Reader.
To access the books from the Help menu in Server Manager,
choose InterBase Help and choose the book you want from
the "InterBase Books Online" section.

Uninstalling InterBase 5

The Windows InterBase installation allows you to choose
between performing a complete install or selecting
individual components.  If you install a subset of the
components, you can run the install again later to add
more components.  However, when you uninstall, only the
components that you installed the last time are removed.
