  Copying Bookreader Files from Tru64 UNIX to OpenVMS
  Systems

  To copy books from a Tru64 UNIX system to an OpenVMS
  system, you must first have one file with the file type
  DECW$BOOK on the OpenVMS system.

  Use this existing file to create RMS header information for
  the book you want to copy from the Tru64 UNIX system as
  follows:

  1. On the OpenVMS system, define RMS file characteristics
        by creating a File Definition Language (FDL) file for an
        existing book:
        $ ANALYZE/RMS_FILE/FDL EXISTING_FILE.DECW$BOOK

        This command creates an FDL file, EXISTING_
        FILE.FDL, that you can use to copy a book.
  2. Copy the book using the following command:
        $ EXCHANGE/NETWORK/FDL=EXISTING_FILE.FDL/LOG-
        _$/TRANSFER_MODE=BLOCK NODE::"location on UNIX-
        _$/filename.decw_book" filename.DECW$BOOK

        This command uses the FDL file to allow you to copy
        the file filename.decw_book from the Tru64 UNIX sys-
        tem to a file named FILENAME.DECW$BOOK on the
        OpenVMS system.
