Adobe Acrobat Reader is also available for Solaris 2.5.1. Sun's StarOffice
will let you read documentation from existing files in common formats like
word. I haven't worked much with Star Office but it seems to run OK.
Netscape with a webserver is probably still your best bet since you won't
have to copy the documentation to each machine and you can update just one
set. I've found pages on Netscape for Unix look better if you change
Netscapes default fonts under the edit-> preferences pick to make them
larger.

Subject: Helpfile Viewer
Hello List Members,
I want to provide our plant operators with Help/Operating manual pages that
are called up by a button on a display. Standard display manager text boxes
are too limited. I am looking for a way to display text and graphic files
from display manager. Do any of you do this or know how to do this using
built in Solaris applications or third party applications. An HTML file
viewer would be ideal.
Thanks,
Dan
