- Related documentation
-
- UnixWare 7 systems include comprehensive online documentation. The SCO
- online documentation is organized into ``topics'' (or subject areas),
- rather than books. By using topics as entry points into the
- documentation set, you can access the desired subject directly; you no
- longer have to determine in which book the material is covered.
-
- Most UnixWare 7 programs and utilities are linked to extensive context-
- sensitive help, which in turn is linked to relevant sections in the
- online topics.
- _________________________________________________________________________
-
- NOTE When you upgrade or supplement your UnixWare 7 software, you
- might also install online documentation that is more current than
- the printed books that came with the original system. For the most
- up-to-date information, check the online documentation.
- _________________________________________________________________________

-
- Runtime Release Notes

- hardware requirements, and known limitations
-
- UnixWare 7 System Handbook

- managing users, starting and stopping the system, working with
- filesystems, and configuring printers
-
