  18. I guess you haven't looked at the file ~ftp/contrib/xdocviewer-2.0 on
  19. export.LCS.MIT.EDU lately.

  22. [ the decwrl FTP-via-email service to get this for you ... ]

  24. Just to be pedantic, to say that xdocviewer-2.0 lets you "run" answerbook under
  25. X11 R5 would be a misnomer.  It does, however, shall I say, let you "walk with
  26. a limp and a cane" ... (-:
  27.  
  28. xdocviewer 2.0 is a Perl script (runs with Perl 4.0 patchlevel 19 and, I would
  29. assume, newer versions) that can work with AnswerBook 1.2, 1.3 or 2.0.
