- ______________________________________
- 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.
-
- The online PDF version of the document set is often more recent than
- the printed set. If you find descrepancies between the two versions,
- follow the information in the online PDF documents.
-
- 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.

- _______________________________________
- Changes between printed and online docs
-
- The following topics have a more current treatment in the online
- PDF document versions than in the printed books:
- *Implementing SQL3 roles
- *Using FREE_IT with UDFs
- *Using the IPX/SPX Netware protocol

- Uninstalling InterBase 5
-
- The Windows InterBase installation allows you to choose
- between performing a complete install or selecting individual
- components. If you choose to install components at different
- times, the uninstall program will remove only the components
- selected for the last install.
-
- The ODBC driver or the ODBC driver manager must be removed
- manually; there is no uninstall available through the Windows
- control panel.
