Major Documentation Changes

This guide includes the following changes:

  • The information in the former chapter 2, “Getting Acquainted with Trusted IRIX/CMW” has been moved or deleted.

  • Login information in chapter 3, “Understanding System Access,” has been revised and new information has been provided on logging in using telnet or terminal sessions.

  • Information has been added to chapter 3, “Understanding System Access,” on differences in using the window manager under Trusted IRIX.

  • Information in chapter 4, “Importing and Exporting Data,” on printing files with numeric labels has been removed because it does not apply to Trusted IRIX/CMW systems.
