NAME
     ab_library - collection of AnswerBooks browsed and  searched
     as a unit

SYNOPSIS
     $HOME/.ab_library

DESCRIPTION
     An AnswerBook library is a group of AnswerBooks that can  be
     browsed  and searched as a unit by navigator(1) (the Answer-
     Book Navigator).  Also included in a library is the list  of
     bookmarks referencing that library's AnswerBooks.

     The default library file is $HOME/.ab_library

     navigator automatically creates a new library for  the  user
     if one does not already exist.  Whenever the AnswerBook user
     adds or deletes an AnswerBook to the library via the naviga-
     tor  "Modify  Library"  pop-up window, navigator saves those
     changes to the library  file  so  that  they  exist  between
     AnswerBook sessions.  Changes to the library's bookmark list
     are similarly saved.

     The AnswerBook library file is created and maintained solely
     by  the  AnswerBook  Navigator.   It  is  not intended to be
     hand-editable.

     navigator  employs  a  library  file  locking  mechanism  to
     prevent  data  loss  or  corruption  when multiple Navigator
     access the same library file simultaneously.  The  Navigator
     creates  a  lock  file  ( ab_library.lock ).  If a lock file
     already exists, the Navigator informs the user that the file
     is  locked,  then asks whether the user wants to 1) quit, 2)
     access the library in read-only mode,  or  3)  override  the
     lock.   Locks  should only be overridden when they are known
     to be out of date, i.e., the program that created  the  lock
     is  no  longer running.  The Navigator removes the lock file
     it created upon exiting.

FILES
     $HOME/.ab_library
          Default AnswerBook library file.
