Welcome to the Online Document Authoring System (ODAS) version 1.0 -
Standard Edition. This is a shareware version of the ODAS product. The
ODAS program is a CASE tool for OS/2 IPF online documents. The ODAS 
program helps you generate OS/2 IPF online document source files. You do
not need knowledge of the OS/2 IPF Tag Language in order to produce IPF
online documents using the ODAS program.

This shareware version of the ODAS program is a Microsoft Windows 3.X
application program and therefore must be run in the Microsoft Windows
or Win-OS/2 session environments. The files in the ODAS1OS.ZIP are set
up for an automated installation or SETUP in either the Microsoft Windows
or the Win-OS/2 Program Manager. If the file (ODAS10S.ZIP) is unzipped, and all
of the files copied to a disk in drive A, to install from the Program
Manager simply choose File, Run, A:SETUP.EXE. The installation is then
completely automated via the SETUP program. You can run the SETUP.EXE
program from any disk or directory, just use the Browse feature to locate
SETUP.EXE.

A sample document (DDF) is included which describes parts of the ODAS program.
When you run the ODAS program choose File, Open to open the ODAS.DDF file. To
read text for document topics double-click on the topic in the Document Topic
Structure list box. You can press the Generate push button, save the file, and then
run it through the OS/2 IPF compiler:

IPFC ODAS.DAT /INF /S /X /W

to create a .INF file which can then be read through the IPF Viewer.
