Sun Presenter Console extension is useful but undocumented

11-10-2008 02:00 AM
Currently in late beta, the Sun Presenter Console (SPC) is Sun Microsystems' latest extension for OpenOffice.org and StarOffice. Other extensions from Sun in the last year, such as the Sun PDF Import Extension, Sun Presentation Minimizer, and Sun Weblog Publisher, have sometimes been lacking in design and sometimes buggy, but all of them are so invaluable that you might wonder why they are extensions instead of new features. SPC is no exception. It gives slide show presenters a separate view of their presentation and some tools to help them organize and deliver their talks, but includes no indication of how to set it up or use it.

NAME

       cvc - virtual console driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  cvc  virtual  console  driver  is a STREAMS-based pseudo driver that supports the network console. The cvc driver interfaces with con-
       sole(7D).

       Logically, the  cvc driver sits below the  console driver. It redirects console output to the cvcredir(7D) driver if a network console con-
       nection is active. If a network console connection is not active, it redirects console output to an internal hardware interface.

       The cvc driver receives console input from  cvcredir and internal hardware and passes it to the process associated with /dev/console.

NOTES

       The   cvc facility supersedes the SunOS wscons(7D) facility, which should  not be used in conjunction with  cvc. The  wscons driver is use-
       ful for systems with directly attached consoles (frame buffers and keyboards), but is not useful with platforms using cvc,  which  have	no
       local keyboard or frame buffer.
