Bo,
What about StarOffice? I started looking at how to look at documents
directly from the PC network on a UNIX box over a year ago and thought that
this free application from Sun would do the trick. This way when records
change on the Enterprise network side you didn't have to update it on the
I/A side. I stopped looking when I moved to another project and I had
trouble finding something for Solaris 2.5.1.

Solaris 2.5.1 boxes:
If the files are text, you can use textedit in read only mode. I have a tool
called Viewer that shows the text file and adds print buttons to I/A Series
printers.
If the documents are on a web server, you can load NetScape and view them
with that.
If the documents are .pdf, you can load Acrobat and view them with that.
(All of the above assume a DM script that launches the required executable.)
Solaris 8 boxes
All of the above, plus StarOffice which allows you to read/write MS Office
compatible files. Not quite free, but cheap.
MS Windows NT V4.0 SP5 and MS Windows XP Boxes
Anything that runs on the specified OS.
I am sure that there must be other ways, but these are the first that I can
think of.

What, if any, are the best methods to give access to documents such
as SOP's to operators from the Foxboro Workstation screens? Their simple
request is to be able to punch a button on a display and have the SOP appear
on the screen. I assume a complicated resolution......
