The uw710doc package
This package contains the entire
UnixWare 7 documentation set
in static file: format.
It is provided to enable OpenServer developers
to read the documentation locally
with a Netscape® browser (Navigator® 3.0 or higher),
because the non-manual page documentation
built with the UnixWare 7 tools cannot be installed
and read on an OpenServer system.
The latest online documentation is available at the
Product Documentation site.
See
readme.htm or
readme.txt
for more information.
