Accessing documentation

To access online documentation on SCO OpenServer systems, double-click on the Desktop Help icon or point your existing Netscape browser to:

http://ServerName:457/dochome.html

NOTE: Using the SCOhelp browser to view SCO OpenServer documentation is recommended.

The Morning Star PPP User's Guide is available online (http://osr5doc.sco.com:1996/Internet/Secure/secure2.htm) and in PostScript (http://www.sco.com/documentation/postscript/secure/) format.

To access printable PostScript images:

  1. Download and install the gunzip utility.

  2. Download the files from http://www.sco.com/documentation/postscript/mst/ppp/ to a temporary directory (such as /tmp).

  3. Change to the download directory:

    cd /tmp

  4. Uncompress and print the files:

    /usr/bin/gunzip * | lp -opost -dprintername *

    Substitute the name of a PostScript printer for printername and, if necessary, change the -opost option depending on your printer model script.

To order printed Netscape documentation:

  1. Visit the Netscape home page (http://home.netscape.com).

  2. Click on Netscape Store, then Bookstore & Courses.

NOTE: Be sure to check the addendum (http://osr5doc.sco.com:1996/Internet/PPP/ug211/addendum.htm) for differences between the Morning Star PPP User's Guide (http://www.sco.com/documentation/postscript/mst/ppp/) book from Morning Star and the SCO version of the software.



Downloading gunzip

The PostScript books on the WWW are distributed in gzip (.gz) compressed format. You must use gunzip to uncompress these files. To download and install the gunzip utility:

  1. Point your browser at http://www.sco.com/documentation/postscript/bin/ and download gunzip_osr5.tar to a temporary directory (such as /tmp).

  2. Use tar(C) to extract the tarfile:

    cd /tmp
    tar xvf gunzip_osr5.tar

    This extracts the gunzip binary into the /usr/bin directory.

To download the entire gzip package from Skunkware:

  1. Point your browser at http://www.sco.com/skunkware/osr5/shellutil/gzip/.

  2. Download gzip-1.2.4-VOLS.tar to a temporary directory (such as /tmp).

  3. Use tar(C) to extract the tarfile:

    cd /tmp
    tar xvf gunzip_osr5.tar

  4. Use the SCOadmin Software Manager (custom) to install (select Media Images when prompted for a media device and enter the temporary directory for the directory name).

    For information on using the Software Manager, see ``Installing and managing software components'' (http://osr5doc.sco.com:457/HANDBOOK/swaN.admin.html in SCO OpenServer Handbook (http://osr5doc.sco.com:457/HANDBOOK/CONTENTS.html) or ``Installing, removing software'' (http://osr5doc.sco.com:1996/FASTSTART/swaN.admin.html) in SCO Internet FastStart http://osr5doc.sco.com:1996/Internet/FASTSTART/.
