Silicon Graphics manuals are usually read online using IRIS Insight. This manual and many of the books in Table i are installed as part of the IRIS Developer's Option (IDO) feature. When the books are installed or mounted on your workstation, use the command iiv or double-click the InSight icon.

When the manuals are not accessible to your workstation you can examine or order any Silicon Graphics manual on the World-Wide Web using the following URL: http://www.sgi.com/Technology/TechPubs/

If you do not have Web access, you can order a printed manual from Silicon Graphics by calling SGI Direct at 1-800-800-SGI1 (800-7441). Outside the U.S. and Canada, contact your local sales office or distributor.

You can find additional information about internationalization from X/Open Company Limited. X/Open Portability Guide, Volume 1, XSI Commands and Utilities, Volume 2, XSI System Interface, and Volume 3, XSI Supplementary Definitions. Berkshire, United Kingdom. Prentice-Hall, Inc.
