  Copying Bookreader Files from the Tru64 UNIX ConOLD
  Disc

  If you have access to a Tru64 UNIX ConOLD disc, you may
  want to copy books or bookshelf files that reside on that disc
  to a local area and then put the books in a separate bookshelf.

  This type of copying is useful if you tend to use only a subset
  of the books on the ConOLD disc.  You can access the books
  even if the ConOLD disc is not mounted.

  To copy one or more books or bookshelves from the ConOLD
  disc, follow these steps:

  1.   Determine the disc and directory name of the ConOLD
      disc by viewing the directories defined by the environment
      variable DECW_BOOK. If the name of the ConOLD disc
      is not obvious, ask your system manager for assistance.

  2.   Read the copy of library.decw_bookshelf   on the ConOLD
      disc.  Find the bookshelf that contains the books you want
      to copy.

  3.   Read the decw_bookshelf  file for that bookshelf.  Copy the
      book files listed in thdecw_bookshelf  file, using the file
      name in the second field of that file, to your local area.
      To copy a book file, use the following command:

      dcp  -i

      To copy a bookshelf file, use the following command:

      dcp  -a

  Copying Books from the Tru64 UNIX ConOLD Disc                is
  an example of how to copy the DECpresent manuals from
  the ConOLD disc to a local area.

  After you copy the books to your local area, you can list them
  in a bookshelf file  .

  You can  display this bookshelf     instead of the default dis-
  play or in addition to the default display.
