I may have missed the point but. If you want a HTML viewer why not load
Netscape for UNIX. I have not used it for a while but had it running to
browse FoxDoc in the past with no problems.

I have installed Netscape Navigator for Solaris 2.5.1 on all of our WP51D's
for Help file viewing. The only issue is that sometimes on FoxView, the
colors get messed up if you run Netscape. If you close Netscape and restart
FoxView, the colors look OK again. This is pretty typical of FoxView in

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

There are many 3rd party HTML viewers for Solaris:
- Netscape Communicator v4.76 (probably the easiest to install with
the best functionality including an html editor)
- HotJava (a Solaris browser doesn't work as good as Netscape)
- Internet Explorer for Solaris (A micros
Just out of curiousity, how would one do the FoxDoc updates for, say, a web
server running on an AW51
so one can have current local documentation accessible from all the stations?

RE: Helpfile Viewer
As has been mentioned by other users you can load a browser on to a
Foxboro 51 series station. Another thought, and it might not be popular because
it is not freeware, is using the hyper help that comes with Foxboro. Hyperhelp
is a commercially available product
Foxboro does have an add-on for viewing help text files. As I recall it is
part of the utilities toolbox and is (I believe) available separately too.

Dan-
You might try something like:
su - unprivileged_user_id -c netscape
This is not quite as good as chroot but at least keeps them from overwriting
files.
Of course the real fix is for Foxboro to modify their software so it doesn't
have to run as root.
