There is a program called "boo2pdf" that will do a 'so-so' conversion. I
have used it on a few older books that are not available in PDF format.
From the web page:
"I am using the JAR files from IBM SoftCopy Reader for Linux. I've
decompiled these and written my own main class and and a wrapper script
to take care of setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, Java classpath, and other
such glue code. I use SoftCopy Reader's API to output HTML and images
from the BookManager files. I then pass this to htmldoc for PDF conversion."

I've wondered for a while - is the .boo data format documented
anywhere? I looked briefly at the z/OS Bookmanager datasets, and
didn't see any mapping macros or the like, but that doesn't rule it
out.

Tony:
The .BOO file format is not documented anywhere outside of IBM.
