1. The following kixview documentation replaces the description in the
   Sun MTP Reference Guide, which was incomplete (BugId 4950784).
   
   The kixview program displays the contents of a file in a dump format with 
   the hexadecimal representation of the contents on the left side of the
   display and the text contents on the right side of the display. kixview 
   can display both ASCII and EBCDIC files. For EBCDIC files, kixview converts
   the bytes into ASCII before displaying the file.
   
   Format:
   
   kixview [-e|-E] [-A conversion-table] <file1>, [<file2>, <filen>]

   where:
   
   -e|-E                  Specifies that the input files are EBCDIC files.
   -A <conversion-table>  Specifies the EBCDIC to ASCII conversion table to use.
                          If you are viewing EBCDIC files and do not specify a
                          conversion table, the default conversion table is 
                          used (IBM-1047 to ISO8859-1).
   <file1> [<file2>]      Identifies the names or full path names of the files.
                          If you are supplying multiple file names and
                          incorrectly type a file name, or type the name of a
                          non-existent file, kixview issues an error message 
                          and displays the next file in the list.

   To navigate within the file, position the cursor in either the hex or text
   display area. Then use the following keys to move the cursor:
   
   Key           Action
   j             Moves the cursor down one line.
   k             Moves the cursor up one line.
   l             Moves the cursor one character to the right.
   h             Moves the cursor one character to the left.
   Ctrl-f        Scrolls down by a full screen.
   Ctrl-b        Scrolls up by a full screen.
   Ctrl-d        Scrolls down by half a screen.
   Ctrl-u        Scrolls up by half a screen.
   L             Moves the cursor to the beginning of the last line on the
                  screen.
   H             Moves the cursor to the beginning of the first line on the
                  screen.
   ^             Moves the cursor to the beginning of the current line.
   $             Moves the cursor to the end of the current line.
   #             Moves the cursor to the beginning of the other screen
                  area. For example, if the cursor is in the hex area, it 
                  moves to the beginning of the text area. 
   %             Moves the cursor to the end of the other screen area. For
                  example, if the cursor is in the hex area, it moves to the
                  end of the text area.
   B             Moves the cursor to the first position in the file.
   G             Moves the cursor to the last position in the file.
   g             Displays the prompt File Position (hex). Type the hex value 
                  of the file position and press Return. The line containing 
                  the value is moved to the top of the screen.
   /             Displays the prompt (A)scii or (H)ex. Type the search pattern
                  and press Return. kixview searches forward in the file, and
                  moves the line containing the next instance of the value to
                  the top of the screen.
   ?             Displays the prompt (A)scii or (H)ex. Type the search pattern
                  and press Return. kixview searches backward in the file, and
                  moves the line containing the next instance of the value to
                  the top of the screen.
   n             Searches forward for the next instance of the search pattern.
   N             Searches backward for the next instance of the search pattern.
   Ctrl-L        Refreshes the screen display.
   e             Displays the prompt Edit File. Type the name of another file 
                  to view and press Return. You can specify only one file name.
   q             Quits kixview and returns to the command prompt.

   Note - When viewing EBCDIC files, kixview converts the input ASCII pattern 
          into EBCDIC before matching it with characters in the file.

2. The following message has been modified for clarity (BugId 5077890)

   KIX0462I Sign-on transaction CSSN/CESN cancelled
   
     Description: This message is displayed if you terminate either the CSSN 
     or the CESN transaction.
     
     Solution: Informational message; no user action is needed.

3. A fix to BugId 5078396 changed the size of the terminal buffer from 
   7,000 bytes per user to 32,000 bytes per user. The description for the
   following error message has changed:
   
   KIX0401T TIOA overflow 
   
     Description: The application attempted to send too much data to a
     terminal. The maximum amount of data that can be sent is 32,000 bytes.
     
     Solution: Modify your application program so that no more than 32,000
     bytes of data per SEND request is sent to a terminal.
