Does anyone knows an alternative to the mainframe product known as QuickRef?
I' currently working on a "Help-System" that will hopefully be released Q1 next year (most of the work is done - I'm currently cleaning up some things, implement licesnsing stuff, design the web-site and so on).
This system is a .NET Application that can be hooked into any running application, grab the text string under the cursor and query a DB with this string.
This way I can query any 3270-Emulation and query for the string under the cursor. (In detail, I use several techniques/methods to get the string to query).
If you are interested to give it a test drive or you want to have more technical details - let me know. And also let me know which manuals you need to be stored in the database (i. e. SQL-Codes, DB2-Messages, RACF-Messages. MVS System Codes and so on).
I also plan to provide an API so you can store your own personal data into the database.
Oh.. and to answer your question: Well, the only alternative that I know is IBM BookManager....
