This folder contains the OpenDoc Class Reference, OpenDoc Programmer's Guide, and OpenDoc Cookbook in the form of three QuickView databases, together named "OpenDoc Assistant". OpenDoc Assistant gives you rapid access to
• Complete reference descriptions of the OpenDoc API
• Extensive overview and programming discussions
• Detailed tutorial steps with sample source code
OpenDoc Assistant includes extensive hypertext links for rapid, easy navigation and provides useful features such as copy text, fast full-text search, user annotations, and resizable windows.
Installing QuickView
To install QuickView, copy the "QuickView databases" folder to your hard drive. The folder contains the QuickView application, a Help file, the four OpenDoc Assistant databases, and this ReadMe file. You may copy the files anywhere, but the QuickView application and any databases it is to access must reside in the same folder.
(You needn't copy all the databases if you don't want access to all the information. For example, if you want reference information only, you could copy only the OpenDoc Class Ref database and the QuickView application.)
Installing OpenDoc and ODF Databases Together
You can combine the OpenDoc Assistant with the ODF Assistant QuickView database--available elsewhere on this CD-- by moving them both to the same folder. The QuickView application and its help files are duplicated in both places, so you only need to drop the ODF Assistant into teh folder containing the OpenDoc Assistant in order to use them both together.
Using QuickView
If you have questions on how to use QuickView and its databases, you can consult the Macintosh Programmer’s Assistant Help file, accessed through the Help menu when QuickView is active. This help file describes how to use QuickView with both ODF Assistant and OpenDoc Assistant, as well as Macintosh Programmer’s Toolbox Assistant.
