OpenVMS Differences Document

[Deskin, Bob]

I don't believe it's been corrected in the current release - we haven't done
RBFs on the book CD. But it has been or will be fixed in the next release
and we have been moving to Acrobat Reader 4.

Bob,

Have you fixed the bug in the CD's installation program? I have Acrobat 4.0
installed. Your installation program insisted that it wanted to install 3.01
and would not take NO for an answer (had to abort the install and do it all
manually). Reported this to the UK support office several months ago.

Regards,
Robert W.Mills (Windsong Services)

The PowerHouse manuals will be available on CD (PDF format files). In fact
you can download the current edition (no OpenVMS stuff yet) from our web
site. Most of our users have PCs (sorry Chris) and having a searchable
reference manual set made having online help redundant. We are looking at
other formats for the manuals but it doesn't look promising. It would have
to be something we can generate with our current document source (we use
FrameMaker) or from the PDF files.

The removal of on-line help is fine ... but what will replace it?
Perhaps COGNOS should take a lesson from SAS.  When VMS clients upgrade to
the newest version of SAS, they receive a nice CDROM that has complete
documentation in HTML format.  The CD can be loaded to a network drive to
provide slick, quick and easy to use help for Users of all levels.
