NAME
     ab_cardcatalog - directory of available AnswerBooks

SYNOPSIS
     $HOME/.ab_cardcatalog, $AB_CARDCATALOG

DESCRIPTION
     AnswerBook card catalogs serve as  directories  for  listing
     and locating AnswerBooks on the local system and on the net-
     work.  The AnswerBook programs  navigator(1),  docviewer(1),
     and  others  depend  on  card  catalogs to list and find all
     available AnswerBooks.

     A card catalog file contains entries for one or more Answer-
     Books.   Each entry provides information on the AnswerBook's
     title, id, version number, and the location of its component
     files.

     Use the ab_admin(1) utility to add, delete, modify, or query
     AnswerBook  entries  in  a  card catalog file.  Card catalog
     files are not intended for  hand-editing,  though  they  are
     ASCII files.

     AnswerBook programs that use card catalogs typically consult
     several  of them, if necessary, in order to locate the entry
     for a given AnswerBook.  In particular:

          $HOME/.ab_cardcatalog     entries for personal  Answer-
                                    Books

          $AB_CARDCATALOG           shared, network-wide  Answer-
                                    Books

     When an AnswerBook package is installed on  a  machine,  the
     installation  software  will  create a separate card catalog
     file for that particular AnswerBook.  If that AnswerBook  is
     to  be  shared  among  users  in a network, its card catalog
     entry should be added to the network-wide card catalog  file
     so  that it will be generally available.  See ab_admin(1) or
     the UNKNOWN TITLE ABBREVIATION: ABADMIN for more information
     on sharing AnswerBooks on the network.

FORMAT
     Each AnswerBook entry in a card catalog  file  contains  the
     following fields:

          title       AnswerBook title

          id          AnswerBook id

          version     AnswerBook version number (optional)

          pspath      Full  path  name  of  directory  containing
                      AnswerBook's PostScript files

          tocpath     Full  path  name  of  directory  containing
                      AnswerBook's Table of Contents databases

          indexpath   Full  path  name  of  directory  containing
                      search index files

     The "version" field is optional and serves mainly to distin-
     guish  two  AnswerBooks  that have the same id but different
     content.  All other fields are mandatory

     The format of an entry is a set  of  colon-separated  "field
     name=value"  pairs.   Entries can span more than one line by
     terminating each line  with  a  backslash  character  ('\').
     Blank lines and comment lines (those beginning with '#') are
     ignored.

     The first line of a card catalog file must be the string

          #<Card Catalog> version 1

     which is the "magic number" for  card  catalog  files.   See
     binder(1) for more information on magic numbers.

     Here is a sample card catalog file:

          #<Card Catalog> version 1

          #
          # Sample card catalog entry for My AnswerBook
          #
          title=Title of My AnswerBook: \
          id=MyAB: \
          pspath=/net/my_server/export/AnswerBooks/MyAB/ps: \
          tocpath=/net/my_server/export/AnswerBooks/MyAB/toc: \
          indexpath=/net/my_server/export/AnswerBooks/MyAB/index

          #
          # Sample card catalog entry for Your AnswerBook
          #
          title=Title of Your AnswerBook: \
          id=YourAB: \
          pspath=/net/your_server/export/AnswerBooks/YourAB/ps: \
          tocpath=/net/your_server/export/AnswerBooks/YourAB/toc: \
          indexpath=/net/your_server/export/AnswerBooks/YourAB/index

NOTES
     Pre-Solaris 2.2 AnswerBooks  use  the  old-style  "bookinfo"
     mechanism,  which has been superseded by card catalogs.  The
     bookinfo files for these AnswerBooks should be converted  to
     card  catalog  files  using  ab_admin(1) in order to work in
     OpenWindows Version 3.2 or higher.

     AnswerBook  is  a  trademark  of  Sun  Microsystems,   Inc.,
     licensed to SunSoft, Inc.

     The OpenWindows environment may no longer be supported in  a
     future  release.  You may want to migrate to CDE, the Common
     Desktop Environment.
