Here are the possibilities that come to mind: Adobe Acrobat reader. You can get it for Solaris 2.5. The only drawback is that you normally have to have the "writer" package on a PC somewhere to create the PDF files, but I've seen some open-source ways to do this as well.... You might also investigate a Web browser. The bad part is that Netscape 4.7 is the only one I've been able to get to run on Solaris 2.5 (I haven't tried compiling Mozilla). And you'd probably have to take steps to keep the operators from randomly surfing. And the low tech solution: use a text editor, preferably in some kind of read-only mode. All of the above, unfortunately, have the disadvantage that they are separate windows that can occlude your DM/FV window, and may not work at all in full-screen mode. The "read file" function in DM/FV. I haven't played with this myself, so cannot comment on its complexity.

Their simple request is to be able to punch a button on a display and have the SOP appear on the screen.
