[comp.sys.sun] Searching for STB Database

75046.606@compuserve.com (Larry W. Virden) (09/26/89)

I am wondering if anyone knows of a softcopy index to Sun's Software
Technical Bulletins ?  It would make finding problems so much easier
if I could grep for subjects...

Dear Sun-Spots and STB Readers:

In reply to the below inquiry, the STB cumulative index is available in
hardcopy only at this time, and future online STB access bypasses the need
for a softcopy STB index.  See below for details.

Sun is currently migrating toward online access to STB articles and
Hackers' Corner code samples using an alpha-level, Sun-internal InfoView
tool, and the Sun-external SUCCESS (Sun Corporate Catalyst Electronic
Support Service) for Catalyst third- party vendors and others.

Implementation of online STBs using these two tools may be expected during
late 1989 and 1990, and will be available to many of those currently
receiving the hardcopy STB.  Implementation issues remain to be resolved
during the coming months.

Please note that the STB is copyrighted, has limited duplication
permission, and is currently available to those customers holding valid
software service contracts.  Similar availability may be expected for
online STB access, implementation issues pending.

Thanks for your STB interest
