1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
ToolTalk is an interprocess message passing facility
developed and licensed by SunSoft. It is used by
independent applications to communicate with each other
without having direct knowledge of each other. Applications
communicate by creating and sending ToolTalk messages. The
ToolTalk service receives these messages, determines the
recipients, then delivers the messages to the appropriate
ToolTalk client applications.
For detailed documentation, please read the following
manuals:
+o _T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k _S_e_t_u_p _a_n_d _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e.
+o _T_o_o_l_T_a_l_k _P_r_o_g_r_a_m_m_e_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e (available as part of the
ToolTalk Development option)
Developers are encouraged to read both of these manuals.
Note: Packaged with this software is a separate sheet that
contains the Software License Agreement. This
software is provided to you solely under the terms
and conditions of the Software License Agreement.
Please take a few moments to review the Agreement.

1.2 _H_a_r_d_w_a_r_e__R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
You should have at least 16 Mbytes of RAM to run ToolTalk.
Furthermore, many of the programs have large address spaces
and therefore use a large amount of swap space. Silicon
Graphics suggests that if you see the tools being killed due
to lack of swap space, you increase the swap space by using
the ``swap'' administrative interface.
1.3 _O_n_-_L_i_n_e__R_e_l_e_a_s_e__N_o_t_e_s
After you install the on-line documentation for a product
(the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s subsystem), you can view the release notes on
your screen.
If you have a graphics system, select ``Release Notes'' from
the Help submenu of the Toolchest. This executes the
_g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) graphical browser for the online release notes.
Refer to the _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for information on
options to this command.
If you have a non-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.
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.
