For each software product installed on the workstation there is a set of on-line release notes. Each set of release notes contains a number of chapters providing important information about the product. _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s makes it possible to quickly locate and browse these release notes. If _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s is executed with no arguments, it will come up displaying the release notes for the "IRIX" software product. The "IRIX" product is the basic software included on the workstation (eg. unix and utilities). If these release notes are not installed, the release notes for the product "eoe" will be displayed and if these are not present, the first set of release notes found will be displayed. If _p_r_o_d_u_c_t is specified, the program will come up displaying the first chapter of the release notes for that product. If _c_h_a_p_t_e_r is specified in addition to _p_r_o_d_u_c_t the program will come up displaying this chapter of the product's release notes. VVVVIIIIEEEEWWWWIIIINNNNGGGG RRRREEEELLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS The _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s program window consists of a menu bar at the top, a product and chapter title display below that, the document text viewer and a set of chapter movement buttons at the bottom. When _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s comes up it will be displaying a chapter of a product's release notes. The product and chapter currently displayed is indicated just below the program menu bar. If you wish to read this chapter you may use the scrollbar and arrow buttons to the right of the text viewer to scroll through the document. The following keyboard keys may also be used for document browsing: UUUUpppp////DDDDoooowwwwnnnn aaaarrrrrrrroooowwwwssss Move up/down one line of text PPPPaaaaggggeeee UUUUpppp////DDDDoooowwwwnnnn Move up/down one page of text HHHHoooommmmeeee////EEEEnnnndddd Move to top of first/last page SSSSppppaaaacccceeeebbbbaaaarrrr Move down one page of text A new product may be selected from the PPPPrrrroooodddduuuuccccttttssss item on the program menu bar. PPPPaaaaggggeeee 1111 GGGGRRRREEEELLLLNNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS((((1111)))) GGGGRRRREEEELLLLNNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS((((1111)))) A new chapter may be selected from the CCCChhhhaaaapppptttteeeerrrrssss item on the program menu bar. A new chapter may also be selected using the PPPPrrrreeeevvvv CCCChhhhaaaapppptttteeeerrrr or NNNNeeeexxxxtttt CCCChhhhaaaapppptttteeeerrrr buttons at the bottom of the program window. These buttons move sequentially through the list of chapters. Text in the text viewer may be selected for pasting into other documents or applications. Selection of text is performed using the left mouse button. Note that the document or application into which text is to be pasted must obey the ICCCM conventions for cut and paste operations. PPPPRRRRIIIINNNNTTTTIIIINNNNGGGG RRRREEEELLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s provides printing of release notes by selecting the PPPPrrrriiiinnnntttt............ item from the FFFFiiiilllleeee menu. Either the current chapter or all chapters of the current product may be printed. All printing is done on the default system printer. Use the _S_y_s_t_e_m _M_a_n_a_g_e_r program to establish a default printer on your system if one has not already been selected. UUUUPPPPDDDDAAAATTTTIIIINNNNGGGG TTTTHHHHEEEE PPPPRRRROOOODDDDUUUUCCCCTTTT AAAANNNNDDDD CCCCHHHHAAAAPPPPTTTTEEEERRRR LLLLIIIISSSSTTTTSSSS If products have been added or removed from the system while _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s is running, the list of products and chapters that _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s knows about can be updated by selecting UUUUppppddddaaaatttteeee LLLLiiiisssstttt from the FFFFiiiilllleeee menu. RRRREEEELLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS DDDDIIIIRRRREEEECCCCTTTTOOOORRRRYYYY Typically the release notes for all products installed on the workstation are located in subdirectories of /_u_s_r/_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s. By default, _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s looks in this directory for release notes. A different release notes directory path may be specified in a number of ways. If the program resource rrrreeeellllnnnnooootttteeeessssPPPPaaaatttthhhh is set to a directory path, _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s will look in this directory for release notes. If the environment variable RRRREEEELLLLNNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSSPPPPAAAATTTTHHHH is set to a path, the program will look there for release notes. Finally, if the command-line option ----rrrrppppaaaatttthhhh is specified, the path argument to this option will be used as the release notes directory. The environment variable takes precedence over the program resource and the command-line option takes precedence over the environment variable.

Therefore, pages have been padded with trailing blank lines where necessary. This resource is used to minimize the number of blank lines displayed. This resource specifies a blank line threshold. Consecutive blank lines up to this threshold will be displayed. Any remaining consecutive blank lines will be ignored. Set this resource to zero (0) to disable blank line compression.

The format assumes the use of a fixed-width font for all text styles. In addition, the format assumes that normal, underline, bold and bold-underline fonts all have the same character width. The default fonts for the nnnnoooorrrrmmmmaaaallllFFFFoooonnnntttt, uuuunnnnddddeeeerrrrlllliiiinnnneeeeFFFFoooonnnntttt, bbbboooollllddddFFFFoooonnnntttt and bbbboooollllddddUUUUnnnnddddeeeerrrrFFFFoooonnnntttt resources have been chosen to adhere to these assumptions.
