Com- C puter conferencing is a proven, computer supported, electronic mes- F saging technology that lets users participate in open discussions withF people in different locations and at different times. Compaq Notes forE OpenVMS VAX helps save travel time and money because participants can H join in a discussion from their own desks at a time of their own choice.  F Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX can be used for a variety of applicationsD such as an electronic bulletin board, collaborative document author-E ing and review, and internal classes or seminars. One major advantage F of Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX is that the conference maintains a de-C tailed record of the proceedings of a discussion. These records can C later be searched by a variety of criteria, such as name of partic- C ipant, subject, or keyword. Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX eliminates D reinvention of the wheel by providing a mechanism for sharing expertC knowledge across the enterprise. In general, Compaq Notes for Open- D VMS VAX enhances the communication flow across the corporate hierar- chy.  E Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX is implemented as a client/server appli- F cation. The Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX clients can run in one of twoE ways. Users can be on either the DECwindows platform with easy access E to functions through direct manipulation with a mouse in a window, or C the character cell terminal using a TPU interface. Compaq Notes for   C                                                           July 1999        E OpenVMS VAX servers run on OpenVMS VAX systems in either a standalone  or networked environment.   D The Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX Full-function option allows the useF of all the features described below. The one exception is the PersonalE Use license that allows all the features below except for access from E remote clients. The Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX Client option allows E all of the features described below with the exception of creation of F conferences. The Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX for TeamLinks option al-C lows Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX server features to be accessed by  TeamLinks PC Clients.    Features   Distributed Access  D Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX has been designed for optimal multinodeH access in a DECnet or TCP/IP network, using server technology to achieveF rapid response - even from distant nodes. Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAXE conferences can exist on any Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX server node G in a DECnet or TCP/IP network and can be accessed from any Compaq Notes D for OpenVMS VAX client, Compaq Notes for OpenVMS AXP Client, Confer-C encing for Windows client or Conferencing for Macintosh client in a D DECnet or TCP /IP network, thus offering true distributed processingF capability. Users on remote nodes need not have an account on the nodeD where the conference is located in order to participate in a discus-F sion. Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX can also be used on any single nodeF OpenVMS VAX configuration. Conferences can exist on any node where theC full-function server is installed in either standalone or networked 
 environments.    Moderator Support   C A moderator is a person responsible for managing a conference. Com- E paq Notes for OpenVMS VAX allows both public and private conferences. D For private conferences, the moderator can restrict access to a spe-D cific group of participants by specifying name and network location.D Public conferences have no restrictions on who may participate. Mod-F erators can send announcements of new conferences to participants, and  "                                  2       D have the ability to delete notes entered by other participants. Mod-G erators can also create special notices that are displayed for all par- / ticipants each time the conference is accessed.    Ease of Use   D Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX is designed with the inexperienced userD in mind. All functions can be accessed by easy-to-use commands, sup-F ported with on-line, context-sensitive help. Documentation is designedF to familiarize new users with Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX quickly and easily.    Choice of Editor Interfaces   E The character-cell interface to Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX provides D three separate screen-oriented user interfaces for editing, allowingE users to specify use of EVE (an extensible interface), EDT-style key- H pad interface, or WPS-style GOLD KEY keypad interface on ANSI-compatible
 terminals.  C A line mode editor also is included in Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX % for use on non-ANSI terminal devices.   E Users of the DECwindows interface can enter notes that contain graph- F ics and text by including entire compound documents based on DDIF file format.    Topics and Replies  D The structure of a Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX conference is simplyC a topic followed by replies to that topic, so there is no difficult E hierarchy to navigate. A conference may have more than 50,000 topics, D and each topic may have a similar number of replies. Directory list-F ings show all topics by author, title, date, and the number of repliesE posted to each topic. All notes can be read either sequentially or at D random. Also, users have the option of reading only those notes thatD they have not yet seen. Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX allows the userE to search for various topics and replies using the SEARCH, DIRECTORY,  and KEYWORD commands.   "                                  3       E The DECwindows interface to Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX allows users D to open multiple read windows per conference, as well as have multi-! ple conferences open at one time.    Notebook  H The Notebook is a user's personal list of conferences of interest. UsersC can easily add or delete conferences from their Notebook. The Note- D book allows users to define personal names for conferences and, in aG distributed environment, allows remote conferences to be accessed with- H out DECnet or TCP/IP node specifications. When a conference is accessed,E the Notebook determines whether or not new notes have been made since F the last time the user accessed the conference. The Notebook maintainsE an estimated count of these unseen notes. The Notebook also maintains F a profile of user preferences, including personal name, editor choice," and default printer specification.   Markers   C Markers are user-defined names pointing to relevant notes in a con- D ference. Markers can be used whenever a user needs to have a specialE reminder of things to do, or to recall notes that are frequently ref-  erenced.   Keywords  E Keywords allow the user to group notes that are concerned with a par- C ticular subject or do not have other attributes (such as title, au- C thor, or time of entry) in common. Keywords are useful for grouping G notes that may not have the keyword in the note text or title, but that . do address the subject the keyword represents.  
 Imported Text   C Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX allows notes and replies to be created G outside of Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX (using any editor that can pro- C duce ASCII output files) and then later imported to the conference.    Mail Integration  "                                  4       D Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX uses the OpenVMS VAX mail facility (in-H cluded in the OpenVMS VAX Operating System) to allow users to send notesD or messages to other users from within Compaq Notes for OpenVMS VAX.   DEClinks - formerly LinkWorks   H DEClinks allows the user to create links between notes in a Compaq NotesC for OpenVMS VAX conference as well as links between notes and other D applications that support DEClinks, such as the OpenVMS VAX mail fa-D cility. DEClinks is useful in establishing links between elements inC different databases and also allows easy navigation along the paths_I established by the links.
