Configuring a help document server system

Configuring a help document server system

By default, all SCO graphical systems have a help library (located in /usr/lib/scohelp and /usr/man) and a help server (scohttp). Because the document set is quite large (over 40 MB), you may want to use one machine as a help server for the other machines on your local network.

To do this, configure scohelp(XC) on client Systems to use scohttp(ADM) (the help server daemon) on the help document server system. This section explains how to set up help server systems.

The configuration process assumes that you have installed and are running TCP/IP and that you have installed the SCO documentation components on the machine you want to use as a help document server system.

To configure a scohelp client system to use a remote help server, see ``Using scohelp with a remote help server'' and ``Using context-sensitive help on a document server system''.

CAUTION: If, at any future point, you update all or part of your SCO server or client systems, you may create an incompatibility between the documentation version and the release number of the installed software. The amount of incompatibility will vary depending upon the changes in the software updated.
