# Shelf Help

The HyperShelf and HyperReader servers provide access to Bookreader documentation from the hypertext environment, in a format familiar to Bookreader users.

HyperShelf allows hypertext users access to documents generated within HFRD in alternate formats and provided online via Bookreader. Being generated locally allows HTML and PostScript versions of the document to also be produced.

HyperReader is a complex gateway that provides a reasonable facsimile of a Bookreader document for HTML browsers.

## Icon Meanings

- This is a shelf icon.

  These icons always appear highlighted. Selecting a shelf link opens the shelf.

- This is a book icon.

  A book icon highlighted like this indicates an available Bookreader format document. Selecting the icon results in the document being accessed by the HyperReader server.

- This is an HTML icon.

  Non-Highlighted, as in this case, indicates that an HTML version does not exist and so the document cannot be read in this environment.

  Highlighted like this indicates an available HTML document.

  Selecting the icon results in the document being accessed by the HTTPd server like any other HTML document.

- This is a PostScript icon.

  Non-Highlighted, as in this case, indicates that a PostScript version does not exist and so the document cannot be read by a PostScript viewer.

  Highlighted like this indicates an available PostScript document.

  Selecting the icon results in the document being accessed, and displayed by an external viewer.

- This is a Print icon.

  Non-Highlighted, as in this case, indicates that a PostScript version does not exist and so the document cannot be printed.

  Highlighted like this indicates an available PostScript document.

  Selecting the icon results in the HyperPrint server providing a form allowing the user to select the print queue and submit the file for printing.

## Usage

Usage should be fairly intuitive. Move around shelves until the desired document is located. Icon highlighting will indicate the availability of the document in alternate formats.
