/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb DCE, About This Help Library Important  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  This help library is created from the standard Open Group DCE
  documentation. It includes descriptions of additions that Compaq
  has made to the standard DCE; however, most interface issues specific
  to OpenVMS are not addressed.  For information about using the
  universal interface and any information specific to the OpenVMS
  version of DCE, see the Compaq DCE for OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS AXP
  Product Guide.

     Note: Because Compaq DCE is a subset of the Open Group DCE,
           some of the information provided in this help library
           can mislead you into thinking a feature is available
           when it is not.

  This DCE help library lets you choose from seven major help topics
  at the top level:

     DCE	   DCE_CDS    DCE_DTS    DCE_IDL    DCE_RPC    DCE_SECURITY
     DCE_THREADS

  For example, to get help on RPC, enter the following:

      $ HELP DCE_RPC

  User-level and system administration DCE commands are available at
  the top levels of the help files. This is the information that is
  stored in the man 1 and man 8 sections of other DCE systems.  These
  commands have extensions such as (1rpc), (1dts), and (8cds) in the
  DCE reference manuals.  Other reference material, including DCE
  routines and error messages, is available under the sections that
  correspond to pages in the reference manuals. For example, find the
  RPC application routines under RPC_Application_Routines and the DTS
  application routines under DTS_Application_Routines.

  A NOTE ABOUT UNDERSCORE CHARACTERS (_):

  To improve the searching capabilities of this OpenVMS help library,
  many topics contain underscore (_) characters between words.  Note
  that some DCE commands also include underscore characters as part
  of their command syntax.  Do not assume that the help topic name is
  the same as the command syntax to be entered as a command.  Always
  check to see the actual command syntax.
