There are four manuals available:

• the 'Installation Manual'

  See the 'table of contents' for what is available.

• the 'General Manual'

  It contains all sorts of information including an introduction, instructions how to access the documentation and necessary tools.

  See the 'table of contents' for what is available.

• the 'Reference Manual'

  This manual is of special interest for the programmer. It explains which modules exist, what interface routines to OpenVMS routines are available and how to work with them. Finally it shows how to work with special 'VMS objects'.
