Installing the Document Files
=================================================================
After downloading the documentation packages it is recommended to 
extract the content into the following structure.

1. For each manual, create a directory/folder under [acrobat] 
   (where, [acrobat] is the directory/folder where you installed 
   the Acrobat Reader):

          md [acrobat]\doc\ctg
          md [acrobat]\doc\rtl
          md [acrobat]\doc\ugr

2. Copy and extract the corresponding files from the download 
   directory to the directory/folder for each manual:

Each document directory/folder contains Acrobat files (identified 
by a .PDF suffix) that correspond to the parts of the manuals. For 
example, the Run-Time Library Reference manual is organized in five 
parts plus the front matter:

     RTL_P00.PDF   (Front matter; Table of Contents)

     RTL_P01.PDF   (Part 1: Chapters 1 and 2)

     RTL_P02A.PDF  (Part 2: Chapters 3 through 6)
     RTL_P02B.PDF  (Part 2: Chapters 7 through 10)
     RTL_P02C.PDF  (Part 2: Chapters 11 through 14)
     RTL_P02D.PDF  (Part 2: Chapters 15 through 18)
     RTL_P02E.PDF  (Part 2: Chapters 19 through 22)

     Note: Because Part 2 is very large, it is subdivided 
           into several files, RTL_P02A.PDF through 
           RTL_P02E.PDF.

     RTL_P03.PDF  (Part 3: Chapters 23 through 24)

     RTL_P04.PDF  (Part 4: Chapters 25 through 27)

     RTL_P05.PDF  (Part 5: Appendixes A through C)

     RTL_P06.PDF  (Index)

        Note: The Index is not useful for locating information 
              online. However, if you print out the manual, 
              the Index accurately specifies the page numbers 
              on the printed pages.

                   *  *  *  *  *


Viewing/Printing the Documents
=================================================================

The recommended way to view the documents is to open the file 
named xxx_P00.PDF, which includes the Table of Contents for the 
manual, in the Acrobat Reader. From there, you can jump directly 
to any chapter you want to view and/or print by clicking on the 
Table of Contents listing for that chapter.

Acrobat Reader allows you to print a manual "part," which is one 
or more chapters, or a range of pages. If you want to print a 
chapter, you must specify a range that corresponds to the page 
numbers specified in "Page Number Box" located in the Status Box 
at the bottom of the Acrobat Reader window. This is because the 
Acrobat uses the range 1 to n for each document (rather than the 
page numbers that appear on the displayed pages).
