  Copying Bookreader Files from OpenVMS to Tru64 UNIX
  Systems

  To copy books or bookshelf files from an OpenVMS to a
  Tru64 UNIX system, first make sure the file protections on
  the OpenVMS system are set to WORLD:READ. For example:
  $ SET PROTECTION=W:R FILENAME.DECW$BOOK

  Then enter one of the following commands on the Tru64
  UNIX system:

  .
        DECnet copy of a book -
        % dcp -c -i node::'device:[directory]filename.decw$book' .

        The -i flag makes sure that the file is copied as a binary
        image, and the -c flag automatically converts the file-
        name to lowercase, eliminates the version number and
        semicolon, and changes the dollar sign to an underscore.
  .
        DECnet copy of a bookshelf -
        % dcp -c node::'device:[directory]filename.decw$bookshelf' .

        ASCII is the default output when you copy files from
        OpenVMS systems using dcp . The -c flag automatically
        converts the filename to lowercase, eliminates the version
        number and semicolon, and changes the dollar sign to an
        underscore.
  .
        TCP/IP copy -
        % rcp node::'device:[directory]filename.decw$book' filename.decw_book

  For all commands, enclose the device, directory, and file
  name between apostrophes.
