Creating Your Own Bookshelf File (Tru64 UNIX)

  When you start Bookreader, the Library window opens and
  displays a list of books.  These books may be organized into
  logical groups and stored in bookshelves.  Bookshelves in turn
  can be stored in libraries.

  You can organize existing books and bookshelves by creating
  your own bookshelf file and listing the books and bookshelves
  of your choice in that file.

  For example, you might want to create a bookshelf that
  contains only those books you use often, or a bookshelf that
  contains drafts or books you want to read only once.

  To create any of these bookshelves, you must begin by cre-
  ating a bookshelf file.  A bookshelf can contain a collection of
  books, and it can also contain other bookshelves.

  To create a bookshelf file, follow these steps:

  1.   Create a file named library.decw_bookshelf   .

  2.   Enter the names of the books and bookshelves you want
      in this bookshelf, one on each line.  The bookshelf file can
      contain lines for the following entries:  TITLE, BOOK,
      SHELF. The syntax is as follows:

      TITLE\symbolic_name\Title  of  Library
      BOOK\filename\Title  of  Book
      SHELF\filename\Title  of  Shelf

  You cannot specify remote books by including a node and disk
  in the file specification.  To provide remote access to books
  residing on OpenVMS systems, you must NFS-mount the
  appropriate VMS file systems on your Tru64 UNIX system.

  See the section Accessing OpenVMS Books from a Tru64
  UNIX System in     Adding Bookreader to Your Environment
  for details.

  Each line in a decw_bookshelf file consists of three fields
  separated by a backslash.   Bookshelf File Fields (Tru64
  UNIX)   describes the fields. Bookshelf File Example
  (Tru64 UNIX)     shows a sample bookshelf file.

                                Note

      Do not leave any spaces between the lines in a book-
      shelf file.  Bookreader cannot read a bookshelf file that
      contains blank lines.

  You can insert a comment into a bookshelf file by adding a
  line that begins with an exclamation point (!).  Bookshelf

  File with Comment Example          shows a bookshelf file
  containing a comment.

  Once you have created a bookshelf file, you can    modify the
  Library window display      that Bookreader opens at startup
  time by either adding your new bookshelf to the display or
  replacing the default display with your bookshelf.
