In other words, if you do not have hard-copy documentation and want
to install VMS from a hard-copy console or video terminal, how do you handle it?
We usually don't have a workstation where you can read the VMS Installation
Guide on-line.

Is there a documentation only update service for just the VMS Installation
Guide?


Hello,

I don't know if such an update service exists, but if I'm not mistaken,
you shouldn't have need for an Installation Guide subscription.

If you're a CONDIST customer, you get the Install guides in ASCII plus
PostScript format in [.LINE_DOCS] and [.POST_DOCS] subdirectories located on
disc. These can be printed at your leisure. If you're getting updates on TK50,
you should receive the paper bound version in the shipment along with the
cartridges.

Note that there is (are?) documentation relevant to the upgrade process that
are considered part of the VMS documentation set, (and are probably on OLD).
They would have to be ordered as either part a service, or a-la-carte, if you
want the paper versions. I'm thinking of the documents like "Guide to
Installing VMS version X.X on a VAX nnnn" that are issued as needed
simultaneous to VMS upgrades.

Please forgive me if I've totally missed the point of your request
(  that's been known to happen ;-)  ) and TEIHOTLINE, don't let this
stand in your way of a reply to the gent who asked.
