       1.  _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n

       This release note documents components of the InSight online
       documentation family: the available online books, the IRIS
       InSight Viewer and SGIHelp.


       Note:  As of release 5.0 (shipped with IRIX 6.5.17), the
              IRIS InSight Viewer and the Dynaweb product
              (ddddyyyynnnnaaaawwwweeeebbbb....sssswwww....eeeeooooeeee) are no longer required and have been
              discontinued.  The "insight" application exists
              solely as a process that launches InfoSearch.

              For additional information pertaining to the online
              documentation capabilities of your SGI system, please
              take a look at the iiiinnnnssssiiiigggghhhhtttt____bbbbaaaasssseeee and iiiinnnnffffoooosssseeeeaaaarrrrcccchhhh
              release notes.

       SGIHelp is the IRIX Interactive Desktop(TM) help system that
       is utilized by the majority of applications shipped from
       SGI. Content that is displayed to the user is retrieved
       directly from the online books found on your system.  Once
       within the SGIHelp Viewer, the user can scroll through the
       text, navigate via hypertext links, print, and browse a
       contents area which contains the help topics for a
       particular application that generated a "help" request.
       SGIHelp is an application that is executed when a request is
       made to get "help".  In general, such requests are generated
       from (but are not limited to) an application's "Help" menu
       or "Help" pushbutton(s), or from the Desktop "Toolchest". A
       user should never have to start SGIHelp from the command-
       line.

       The SGI Book Building Tools (iiiinnnnssssiiiigggghhhhtttt____ddddeeeevvvv) is a set of tools
       that enable developers to create their own online books, as
       well as help for their applications.  Help created with
       these tools can be made directly accessible from within the
       SGIHelp system.  See the release notes for iiiinnnnssssiiiigggghhhhtttt____ddddeeeevvvv for
       more information.

       Many End-User, Administrative and Help online books are
       contained within subsystems included in the standard IRIX
       product distribution.  Developer books are included as part
       of the Developer Product options. Many other optional
       software products include books as well.  In general, books
       can be installed from those subsystems that utilize the
       "*.books.*" subsystem image designation.  Examples include:
       eoe.books.sgi_admin and eoe.books.help, to name a couple.

       After you install the online release notes for a product
       (the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s subsystem), you can view the release notes on
       your screen.

       Note:  You can read the online release notes for most
              products before installing the software.  Refer to
              the booklet in your CD-ROM case for more information.

       If you have a graphics system, select ``Release Notes'' from
       the Help submenu of the Toolchest. This displays the
       _i_n_f_o_s_e_a_r_c_h(1) or _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) graphical browser for the
       online release notes.

       Refer to the _i_n_f_o_s_e_a_r_c_h(1) or _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page(s) for
       information on options to the command.

       If you do not have a graphics system, you can use the
       _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s command.  Refer to the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for
       accessing the online release notes.
