  Reading a Book Residing on an OpenVMS System from
  Bookreader Running on a Tru64 UNIX System

  Before you can read books residing on an OpenVMS system
  from Bookreader running on a Tru64 UNIX system, TCP/IP
  Services for OpenVMS software must first be installed on the
  OpenVMS system, as follows:

  1. Invoke TCP/IP Services on the server system:
        $ UCX
  2. Enter the following commands:
        UCX> bind device-name "NFS-file-system-name"
        UCX> add export "NFS-file-system-name" /host=*/options=nodata_conversion

        The device name is the disk that contains the books. The
        NFS file system name is the Tru64 UNIX specification
        that represents the device.
  3. Mount NFS on the Tru64 UNIX system as follows:
        % mount NFS-file-system-name@VMS-node local-mount-point

  The following examples show how to use TCP/IP Services for
  OpenVMS to make an OpenVMS device named BOOK$: on
  node ZEPHYR available as an NFS file system named /book
  to Bookreader on a client Tru64 UNIX system:

  .
        On the server (OpenVMS) system:
        UCX> bind book$: "/book"
        UCX> add export "/book" /host=*/options=nodata_conversion
  .
        On the client (Tru64 UNIX) system:
        % mount /book@zephyr /usr/newbooks

        To mount the OpenVMS file system or directory auto-
        matically at system startup, place an entry in the Tru64
        UNIX system's /etc/fstab file. For example:
        /book@zephyr /usr/newbooks nfs ro,bg 0 0
