HP LaserROM/UX Retrieval Software for HP 9000 Systems, Technical Data
HP LaserROM/UX retrieval software for HP 9000 systems offers you the
ability to access HP 9000 documentation on compact disc read-only
memory (CD-ROM) faster, easier, and better than ever before. The
software, combined with documentation on CD-ROM, provides you with a
powerful interactive information tool that puts Hewlett-Packard
information on your screen when you need it.
Documentation on CD-ROM contains valuable information about MPE V,
MPE/iX, and HP-UX operating systems, subsystems, and other vital
support information. Every month you receive a CD-ROM disc containing
information such as:
o Over 100 HP reference manuals and guides
o Software status bulletins
o Application notes
o HP Response Center questions and answers
o HP communicators
o HP catalogs
HP LaserROM/UX retrieval software and documentation on CD-ROM
creates an interactive environment by providing programmers and
software developers with on-line access to frequently used manuals. It
also helps system administrators and other system support professionals
solve support problems faster. In addition, it enables entire work
groups to simultaneously access documentation on CD-ROM over the
network.
Instead of spending hours searching through volumes of printed
materials for information, users actually find relevant information and
put it to work in just minutes.
Features
o Intuitive, easy-to-use interface with keyword search and browse
capabilities
o The ability to create your own bookshelves, notes, and bookmarks
o A single, up-to-date source for system software information
o Multiuser access to information on HP-UX platforms
Benefits to You
o Spend more time using information and less time searching for it.
o Customize your information according to your needs.
o Improve your effectiveness.
o Maximize your hardware and documentation investment.
Spend More Time Using Information and Less Time Searching for It
With HP LaserROM/UX retrieval software and documentation on CD-ROM, you
have access to an intuitive library interface with bookshelves and file
cabinets. Using the full-text keyword search and browse capabilities,
you can locate information faster and easier than looking through
printed materials.
HP LaserROM/UX retrieval software performs compound (Boolean)
keyword searches with AND, OR, and NOT, allowing you to refine your
search. The built-in thesaurus finds synonyms, plurals, and
abbreviations for your search string. The search organizes the results
in order of relevance and specifies the manual, chapter, and section
where your keyword was found.
You can browse through the information by using the table of
contents or the index or by hyperlinking to the referenced section. Or
you can conduct a specific character search to help you find
information in a book. When you locate the relevant information, you
can print a copy for future reference.
Customize Your Information
Once you have found the information you want, you can add bookmarks and
notes to create an annotation specific to your system's configuration.
If you subscribe to an HP LaserROM information service, your personal
notes and bookmarks carry over to your new disc so you need not worry
about losing important information.
The personalized bookshelf feature offers fast, convenient access to
your most frequently used manuals. You can create your own bookshelves,
name them, and put any number of books into them.
Improve Your Effectiveness
The documentation discs can be shipped to you on a monthly basis so
that you can always have the most current and comprehensive support
information available. With HP LaserROM/UX retrieval software, you need
not search through outdated manuals. Documentation on CD-ROM contains
the latest versions of manuals and other system support information.
Access to this information enables you to answer questions about your
system rapidly and accurately.
Documentation on CD-ROM also frees you from the tedious,
time-consuming task of unwrapping and inserting updates into your paper
manuals. Each documentation compact disc contains hundreds of manuals
and other support information. The up-to-date documentation disc
eliminates uncertainties over the timeliness or accuracy of the
information you use. As a result, you save both shelf space and time.
Maximize Your Hardware Investment
Now your entire work group can have access to documentation on CD-ROM.
Multiple users can retrieve information from the CD-ROM server over a
local area network on the HP-UX platform. With this multiuser
capability, you can dramatically reduce each user's need for a personal
set of paper documentation.
With HP LaserROM/UX retrieval software for HP-UX 9000 systems, you
can choose from two user interfaces. Based on the Open Software
Foundation's OSF/Motif industry standard, the graphical user interface
(GUI) is designed for users with bit-mapped displays running X Windows.
A terminal display interface is also available for users with character
mode terminals.
