Below are simple steps for an AnswerBook demo 
on an NCD with Display PostScript.

========


Simple AnswerBook Demo Start Up
-------------------------------

1. Solaris 2.3 installed on the Sun host.

2. NCDware 3.2 installed on the NCD:

   o MCX, 19c, 17cr or 19g unit
   o 12 MB RAM (4 code, 8 data)
   o DPS license key entered

3. Use OLWM for best results

   o ImageTool & SnapShot have bugs such that they crash under NCDwm

4. OpenWindows font compatibility

   o Same issue as all OW applications

5. Ad-hoc start up on Sun host:

   o setenv DISPLAY ncd_unit:0.0
   o setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin
   o set path = ($path $OPENWINHOME/bin)
   o setenv HELPPATH $OPENWINHOME/lib/help
   o xmodmap -e "keysym F1 = Help"
   o ttsession & (ToolTalk)
   o answerbook &

This allows one to start the Solaris AnswerBook on an NCD with Display
PostScript such that Help also works properly.

Simple AnswerBook Demo
----------------------
o Select "Search" in Navigator window.

o Search on string "spot help" <Return>

o Select "Help on Help" from results.
  Help Viewer displays a page.

o Move pointer over an item on the page
  Press "F1" (newly defined Help key)
  A "Spot Help" box displays

o Press "More" ONCE in spot help box
  In a bit, the Help Viewer displays

o Select "More Handbooks" to reach the "table of contents" page titled
  "Help Handbooks"

o If you have sound for OpenWindows:
  Select "Introducing your Desktop", select "Table of Contents", then
  select "Sound and your Workstation".  Select an icon to play the sound.

o Otherwise...
  Select "About Calendar Manager", select "Calendar Manager Views",
  page through with the arrow button.

Both the AnswerBook Viewer and the Help Viewer are Display PostScript
applications. PageView & ImageTool also use Display PostScript.

There are no special arrangements for the applications to use NCD's
Display PostScript. If DPS is there, the applications use it; 
otherwise,the applications fail.
