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
