NFS mounting DynaText libraries.

Env:
  AIX 3.2.5
  Dynatext Browser Version 2.3.X
Desc:
  Mounting DynaText libraries on NFS mounts.
  Want to mount SNA and/or Netview books to another system.
Action:
  Everything related to the Dynatext Browser is located in the directory
    /usr/ebt.

  If you want to mount everything, including the browser program:
  1) nfs export /usr/ebt on source system.
  2) nfs mount /usr/ebt on target system.
  3) to make the dtext command accessible to normal users, run
   this to create a link:  ln -s /usr/ebt/bin/dtext /usr/bin/dtext
  4) To execute, just run: dtext

  If you only want to mount specific books:
    (This process assumes that the Dynatext Browser is already installed
     on both systems)
  1) cat /usr/ebt/data/.ebtrc
  2) Note the directory of the books we want to export.
    (COLLECTION  \=\) or:
    (BOOK_DBASE  \=\)
  3) nfs export this directory.
  4) nfs mount this directory on the target system.
  5) on target system: vi /usr/ebt/data/.ebtrc
  6) add a line matching the COLLECTION line from step 2.
  7) Run dtext, your new library should be there.
  8) optionally, you may want to do the link from step 3 in the first
   procedure, if not already there.

Example:
Source .ebtrc:
\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#
BOOK_DBASE     /usr/ebt/ebt_books=Dynatext
