Computer Associates has apparently just decided, without any such customer survey, to abandon BookManager format and provide only PDF. I haven't seen any warning of that, but they don't seem to have any BookManager versions of the manuals for the new ACF2 8.0 release. Yes, I do have Adobe Reader 7.0. And No, I still don't think it's better than BookManager. Imagine being at home trying to shoot a problem over a dial-up connection (some of us live in broad-band deprived areas), when the single manual page you need is buried in the middle of a 5MB PDF. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
