Problem Title:
A1.4 - Problems reading Answers Book from Dynatext viewer


Problem Description:
Keywords: No Books, Answers

Urgency: Standard

General Description:  Upon installing A1.4 and attempting to
view the Xilinx Answers book stating known issues with the
release, no books are seen and an error message may be seen
stating:

BwinList:  FAILURE reading collection 'Answers'


Solution 1:

To be able to access the Answers books, they must have been
installed from the Xilinx Implementation Tools CD. On this CD
they are located in the userware/utilities directory.

The  other problem is that the initialization file containing
the paths to the documentation is incorrect.  To fix this, you
may edit the initialization file as follows:

Open the $XILINX/bin/nt/dynatext.ini file in a text editor and edit the followin
g lines:

COLLECTION=$XILINX_CD\userware\utilities=Answers on CD

New:
COLLECTION=$XILINX\userware\utilities\answers=Answers
COLLECTION=$XILINX_CD\userware\utilities\answers=Answers on CD


For UNIX users

in a text editor and change the following lines:
