Displaying an Alternate Bookshelf Instead of the Default (Tru64 UNIX) There are two ways to display an alternate bookshelf instead of the default display: * Change the definition of the "Bookreader" item in the Applications menu to open an alternate bookshelf. For example, if your alternate bookshelf is in /my- books/library.decw_bookshelf , change the Bookreader definition to be the following: /usr/bin/X11/dxbook /mybooks/library.decw_bookshelf * Define an environment variable to point to the directory that contains the alternate bookshelf. The following steps show how to define the environment variable in the C shell: 1. Enter the following command to determine if the envi- ronment variable DECW_BOOK points to the directory that contains the alternate bookshelf file: % echo $DECW_BOOK 2. If DECW_BOOK points to the directory that contains the alternate bookshelf file, define the environment variable DECW_BOOKSHELF to be the alternate bookshelf file. For example: % setenv DECW_BOOKSHELF new_books.decw_bookshelf If DECW_BOOK does not point to the directory that con- tains the alternate bookshelf file, use the complete file specification in the definition. For example: % setenv DECW_BOOKSHELF "/usr/me/new_books.decw_bookshelf" Note that if you define DECW_BOOKSHELF to be the file name only, without the complete file specification, Bookreader searches the directories defined by DECW_ BOOK for a file with that name. If another bookshelf file with the same name exists in decw_book's search list, that bookshelf is also displayed. 3. Start Bookreader from the command line: % dxbook The bookshelves and books listed in the alternate bookshelf file are displayed in the Library window. You can use DECW_BOOKSHELF to access any single book- shelf or any set of bookshelf files with the same name that appears in DECW_BOOK's search list. If you created your own library.decw_bookshelf file in order to add your bookshelf to the default display , you can use another method to view only your local bookshelf. You can redefine DECW_BOOK on a temporary basis to be your local directory. For example: % setenv DECW_BOOK /usr/mydir This definition exists for the duration of the current process only. You can reinvoke the usual definition by logging out of the process and in again or by re-executing the command in your login file that defines DECW_BOOK.
