1. INTRODUCTION

AltaVista Search CD-ROM Toolkit brings the power of DIGITAL's 
AltaVista Internet Service to your CD-ROM distributions.
It allows you to search enable your CD-ROMs so your customers
can quickly find files anywhere on the CD-ROM.

This document describes how to install the product, lists known
problems, and explains how to contact AltaVista Technical support if
you have problems.


1.1 Licensing

The AltaVista Search CD-ROM Toolkit comes with a Development License that
grants you the right to use the Toolkit software to build an index of the
files you plan to place on your CD-ROM master.  However, this license does
not give you the right to make copies of that index or to make copies of the
Redistributable Components from the Toolkit that will need to be placed onto
the CD-ROM along with the index and your files. The Redistributable
Components are those files placed in the AVSCD subdirectory by the Toolkit
during the building of the index.

The right to make copies of the index and the Redistributable Components of
the Toolkit is granted through a separate Digital Deployment License that is
available separately from the Toolkit itself. Six licenses are available,
tiered to the number of CD-ROMs you plan to produce and distribute:

Order Number		Number of CD-ROM Impressions
			which can be produced 

QM-62YAA-AA		1,000	
QM-62YAA-AB		5,000
QM-62YAA-AC		20,000
QM-62YAA-AD		50,000
QM-62YAA-AE		100,000
QM-62YAA-AF		250,000	

These Deployment License are "consumable". That is, for every CD-ROM
impression that you make that contains the AltaVista Search index and
Redistributable Components, you consume one unit of the license. When all of
the units of the license have been consumed (that is, you have produced the
number of CD-ROMs equal to the license quantity) the Deployment License
expires. To produce additional CD-ROMs, you must purchase an additional
license.

The Digital License Agreement accompanying this kit and the Digital
Deployment License Agreement provide additional details on the terms and
conditions associated with this product.


1.2 Getting Started

    To use AltaVista Search CD-ROM Toolkit do the following:

    1. Check Sections 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 to ensure that your PC is 
       running a supported configuration.    

    2. Install the product as described in Section 3.1.

    3. Copy all content (files and directories) into a single directory.

    4. Be sure that files are sufficiently small so that an end user
       will readily find information pertaining to their topic when they
       access the document.

    5. The search interface (initPage.html) that your end users will see
       can be customized as described in section 4.3.  The Wizard allows
       you to optionally customize the search results interface by
       placing a graphic containing your company's logo at the top of it.
       To do so you must create a graphic in .gif format.
       As part of customizing the user interface, you may decide that you would
       like to move the display location of the "Powered by AltaVista" .gif file
       supplied in the default user interface. You may do this, but this .gif file 
       must still be displayed somewhere on the Query and Results pages of the user
       interface.


    6. When you have completed the above tasks, you are ready to start
       the CD-ROM Indexer wizard as described in Section 4.1.

7.1 Installation

7.1.1 Un-install doesn't always delete all files

      Under some circumstances the de-install process does not delete
      all product  files. 

      During subsequent reinstallation, warning messages appear
      indicating that some files already exist. When prompted you should
      answer yes when asked whether to overwrite existing files. The
      installation will then proceed correctly. 


7.1.2 Install does not handle multi-user Windows95 environments

      When installing, menu items are added to the common program groups
      instead of the user specific program groups.


7.1.3 Install fails "The decompression of %s failed..."

      On some systems the installation will fail with the following
      message, even though there is ample disk space:

      The decompression of %s failed.  There may not be enough free 
       disk space available in the TEMP directory.

      If this occurs, perform the following steps:

      1. Open a DOS Window.
      2. Type the SET command with no parameters.
      3. Find the line that starts TEMP=. The directory name following
         the = is your TEMP directory.
      4. In Windows95 Explorer go to the TEMP directory and delete all
         of the files in it.
      5. Run the installation again.

      Contact Technical Support (see Section 6) if you still 
      have problems installing the kit.


7.2 Indexing

7.2.1 Error in AVSTXTIO.EXE while indexing

      While indexing, a message may be displayed indicating that 
      PAV_TXTIO.EXE has caused an exception. After a minute, or if you
      dismiss the message, the indexer will automatically recover from
      the error and continue to index.

      This message occurs most often on systems which have Norton
      Utilities, or First Aid 95, or similar error detection utilities
      installed.

7.2.2 File names not sorted in Wizard Screen 3

      In the third screen of the CD Indexer Wizard, file names are not
      sorted into alphabetical order in the right hand pane of the
      explorer view.

      File names in the left hand pane are correctly sorted.

7.2.3 Text in HTML HREF tags is not indexed

      Text in HTML tags and metadata are not indexed.     

7.2.4 Indexer takes several minutes to stop when Stop Index pressed
 
      If you click on the Stop Index button to stop the indexer, it may
      take several minutes for the indexer to stop. 

7.2.5 Indexer appears to loop on large binary files.

      If you have configured the indexer to index binary format files
      that it does not support (e.g., Lotus Notes), the indexer may take a
      long period of time to index the file, and consume large amounts
      of memory. 

      If you observe this behaviour, change your indexer configuration
      to not index these file types. 

      Please send requests for file types you wish AltaVista Search 
      CD-ROM Toolkit to support to Technical Support (see section 6.1)


7.2.6 Poor system performance on multi-processor systems

      Some multi-processor systems may exhibit poor overall system 
      performance when the Indexer is running. If this occurs, do
      the following:

      1. Start the Task Manager.
      2. Click the right mouse button on the AltaVista Search Indexer
         process.
      3. Set the Affinity setting to one processor.

7.2.7 PC may hang for several seconds when indexer starts

      On some PCs, all PC operations may lock up for several seconds
      when the indexer is started. After this period, all operations
      will resume as normal.

7.2.8 Intel indexer doesn't run on Windows NT 4.0 for DIGITAL Alpha
      using FX!32 
	 
      The Intel indexer and search utilities will not run on Windows NT
      4.0 for DIGITAL Alpha using FX!32.

7.2.9 Indexing UNIX directories in upper or mixed case fails

     If indexing UNIX directories served by Samba make sure it is
     set to case insensitive to fix this problem.



7.3 Searching

7.3.1 No response to Search query from browser.

      When attempting to do a query you may get one of the following
      messages:

      There was no response. The server could be down or is not 
       responding. 

      Unable to open http://127.0.0.1:8866/. The item may have been 
       moved to a different address, or it may not be available right
       now. Please try again later.

      Both of these messages indicate that the AltaVista Query
      Dispatcher is not responding to the query request. The Dispatcher
      is a program that runs on your PC to process
      AltaVista queries from your browser.

      There are a number of possible causes of this message:

        1. The AltaVista Dispatcher is not running. Check the status
           tray to see if the AltaVista Dispatcher icon is present. If
           it is not then run the Dispatcher (press the Search button
	   on screen 6 of the indexer wizard, or run Search.exe).

        2. If you are running on a laptop, or on a stand-alone PC that
           does not have a permanent Internet connection, you may get
           these timeouts for several minutes after you PC has booted.
           After this period, or if you establish a connection to your
           ISP, the Dispatcher will respond to queries.

           NOTE: AltaVista Search CD-ROM Toolkit does not contact any
                 Internet servers when it is processing local My 
                 CD-ROM enquiries.
                 The Internet address 127.0.0.1 is a special Internet
                 address that always refers to your local PC, regardless
                 of what its actual Internet address is.

      If neither of the above solutions resolve your problem, please
      contact AltaVista Search Technical Support as described in Section
      6 of this file.
   
7.3.2 Wild cards don't behave as expected

      The wildcarded operators ? and * do not operate as is
      generally expected.  Specifically:
      - There must be at least three characters proceeding any
        wildcarded character.
      - * will only match up to five (5) characters.
      - Two or more consecutive ? characters will be treated as an *.

7.3.3 Dial-up Networking Request when Stand-alone PC rebooted

      When running on a PC that uses Dial-Up Networking as its Internet
      connection, you may be prompted to connect to your Internet
      Service Provider when you boot your system. This will only occur
      if you have your PC configured to Auto-Dial whenever Internet
      access is requested.

      If this occurs, click on the Cancel button to dismiss the request.
      After a timeout period (see 7.3.1) AltaVista Search CD-ROM Toolkit
      will operate correctly.

      Alternatively you can disable the Auto-Dial option in the
      Internet setting. To do this, go into the Control Panel, click on
      the Internet icon, and click on the AutoDial tab. Then click on the Use
      AutoDial box to remove the tick.


7.3.4 First query times out on disconnected SLIP/PPP systems

      If your computer is connected into the network via a dial-up 
      connection, and that connection has not been established, 
      queries to AltaVista Search CD-ROM Toolkit will fail for
      approximately 5 minutes after you system is first started.
      After this timeout period queries will work normally.

      If this timeout period is unacceptable, you can use the
      unsupported Windows95 Search program instead of the browser search
      interface.  See Section 7.1 for details.


7.3.5 Auto Proxy Browser option not supported

      The Auto Proxy browser option is not supported.

      PAC files are used by Netscape Navigator to automatically
      configure proxy information.  Thus a PAC file is a proxy
      configuration file set up by your system administrator.

      It is possible to modify the .PAC file to allow AltaVista Search
      CD-ROM Toolkit to work.

      To do this, add the following as the FIRST lines in the function 
      FindProxyForURL in the .pac file:

      if (url.substring(7,16)=="127.0.0.1"){
         return "DIRECT";
      }

7.3.6 Dispatcher incorrectly reports that nodes are unreachable

      If the dispatcher attempts to access a node on the network, and 
      that node in not reachable, the dispatcher will continue to
      report that the node is unreachable, even though it may now
      be reachable.

      To clear this problem, the dispatcher must be stopped, then
      started again.


7.3.7 Hit highlighting page returned has broken links

     The page returned from the first link in the query results page
     may have broken links.  Following the second link of the query
     results will display the page (without hit highlighting) with
     working links.

7.3.8 Results page displays HTML tags
     
     This will happen if the HTML file is missing the <html> tag at
     the start of the file.

     Files without the <html> tag can be misinterpreted as text-only
     documents, and the markup tags just as more text on the page.
