Dear managers - My original post was about a problem with viewing Answerbook
materials. Being new to the Solaris environment I soon realized that my
question really had two sub-questions with different answers -
So in summary -
1) The Answerbook viewing software comes with the standard Solaris dist.
and therefore you don't need to install it separately. I did
have to reinstall it on a number of my machines here since the
packages were slightly mucked up
2) You can not "normally" view Answerbooks unless you are working with
Suns Openwindows X server that has Display Postscript
capabilities.
I did as some had suggested and found a hacked version of docviewer that calls
ghostscript to display the postscript pages. Works OK from an Xterm (at least
you can read something).
Thanks so much to:

The original C code that I compiled was put out by Charles Hedrick,
hedrick@cs.rutgers.edu. I am not sure if he still keeps things up or not -
you could send email.
