The C Set/2 on the CD is beta code of the next release.  Don't even
think about installing the CSD to it.  (BTW, there have not been 22 CSD's -
the number relates to internal builds, not external releases.  Also, all
the CSD's have been, and will be, cumulative - if you apply the latest
CSD, you'll get all the fixes).

The .BOO files are for the BookManager/2 product -- I don't have it, but I
think it's essentially VIEW, with more/better features.  I don't think
there's any difference in the contents of the files.

Use and enjoy!  I don't know what you're looking for in the way of tips,
but if you encounter any problems, post them here, or send them directly
to us (cset2@vnet.ibm.com, or workframe@vnet.ibm.com).

I don't know - sorry.  Perhaps someone who actually has one of the CD's
can help.   -tim
