Desktops

The desktops online documentation explains how to work with desktop applications including SCOadmin and SCOhelp.

Two desktops are currently provided by UnixWare 7:

CDE: The CDE desktop is enabled by default. For information on configuring and using this desktop, choose CDE help from the Help menu (above the help icon) on the CDE desktop. This starts the CDE help browser.
Panorama: The Panorama desktop is enabled by selecting Options Session Panorama Desktop from the graphical login. This desktop is provided for those who want to customize an OSF/Motif environment based on the pmwm window manager. For information on this desktop, see pmwm(X1).

In addition, a failsafe session, described on the dtgreet(X1) manual page, allows you to recover from an incorrectly- configured desktop.

Desktops documentation in SCOhelp contains the following topics:

Using SCOhelp
Contains information on using SCOhelp, including search and print capabilities; configuring and managing the help server; and adding documents to the help system.
Administering your system with SCOadmin
Provides an overview of SCOadmin, the graphical, networked system administration tool. Topics include starting SCOadmin, getting help, using toolbars and menus, and remote administration.
Backing up and restoring files
Discusses creating emergency recovery media from which you can restore your system after a hardware or software failure.
X client command manual pages
Describes many of the clients which run in the X runtime environment.
X server command manual pages
Describes server administration commands which control the X runtime environment.
Introduction to Netscape Communicator
Provides a complete description of Netscape Communicator, upon which SCOhelp is based. Topics include finding and viewing information on the World Wide Web, sending and receiving email, participating in newsgroups and discussion groups, creating and publishing your own web pages, collaborating ``live'' with another colleague anywhere in the world, and using Netscape Netcaster, which automatically delivers and updates web sites directly to your desktop.

The topic list in the left frame might also display a link to documentation on the UnixWare 7 Webtop, a web-based interface that allows users to access their UnixWare 7 system remotely. This link only appears after the Webtop is installed. If you would like to install the Webtop or learn more about it, see the UnixWare 7 Webtop Release Notes (located in /info/webtop/relnotes on the Updates CD-ROM).
