HTML versions of IRIX Manuals Included in the v6.0 DT
With the help of David Clarke in Tech Pubs, we were able to
get 16 brand new or re-rev'd IRIX Manuals, included in
the release of IRIX 6.2, onto the v6.0 DT in HTML format. This
is a "first" of significant import. With the inclusion of
these 16 Manuals in HTML, ALL
of their textual contents are now indexed and included
in any search query conducted on board the DT.
The "downside" is that David was grappling with impossible
odds to complete a fully robust and error-free conversion
package in time for the DT train schedule. Thus there are
some anomolies and discrepancies lurking within the HTML
copy we have included. If you explore these documents to
to any sufficient degree, you'll notice certain discrepancies
such as illegible images or a link that doesn't jump to
exactly the correct location.
For the v6.0 DT release, the temporal "solution" is,
if you discover something unintelligible, or otherwise
"illegible", the fallback is to go to the PostScript
version of the given manual, where you will find the
100% accurate and correct representation to clarify
whatever is not so in HTML.
We felt the ability to index the complete contents of all
these manuals far out-weighed any shortcomings in the
not-fully-matured translation process. With the PostScript
versions as fall-back, we are extremely pleased to be able
to offer this first-of-its-kind inclusion of Manuals ala
HTML on the DT.
