OPENSTEP 4.2 Release Notes: 
Documentation

This file contains release notes for the Documentation distributed with this release of OPENSTEP 4.2.

Locating the Developer Documentation

All of the documentation for OPENSTEP 4.2 can be found on-line (some of the documents are supplied in printed form, as well). On OPENSTEP for Mach, the easiest way to access this documentation is to open the NextDeveloper bookshelf using Digital Librarian (this bookshelf can be found in /NextLibrary/Bookshelves). Although the NextDeveloper bookshelf can be used directly to access the documentation, most developers prefer to create their own custom bookshelf containing just those documents of interest. Select the first entry in the NextDeveloper bookshelf, then click ªList Titlesº; the documents that are then listed detail how to create your own custom bookshelf.

In NEXTSTEP Release 3.3, as well as in prior releases,  all developer documentation was located in a subdirectory of /NextDeveloper/Documentation/NextDev. In OPENSTEP 4.2, framework documentation has been moved to a location inside of the relevant framework. All remaining developer documentation can still be found under /NextDeveloper/Documentation/NextDev.

In keeping with the philosophy that all framework resources be located within the framework, framework reference documents are located in the directory Resources/English.lproj/Documentation, relative to the ª.frameworkº directory. So, for instance, reference documentation for the Application Kit Framework can be found in /NextLibrary/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Resources/
English.lproj/Documentation. 

OPENSTEP Enterprise

On OPENSTEP Enterprise, double-click the BooksOnline entry in the NeXT Software program group to gain access to the complete on-line documentation set. 

PDO

On PDO platforms, all documentation is located in /NextLibrary/Documentation.
