How funny! Using this "reasoning", I should put all of my z/OS doc on
Windows and all of my Windows doc on z/OS. That way if either is down I
can use the other to read the doc (and hopefully get it back up). Do you
/really/ put your Windows doc on z/OS??
Demagoguery.
I can put my Winodows doc (I could if I had any) on *another PC*. I have
bunch of PCs in my shop, and even at home.
I don't have too many mainframe CPCs, do you ?
I remember pain in the **s, when, after POR, all the systems were
un-IPLable. Co-worker updated IEASYS on each LPAR, and forgot the comma.
I had documentation on PC near the console. That saved us.
In case of PC failure (I had several), I simply take another PC.

And, in the
case of z/OS, I want to retain the option of reading the doc directly
from a TSO/E session.
Well, your choice. I prefer GUI navigation, but what's most important, I
often need doco, when I'm in trouble: Logged on, and don't know what to
do next. I simply choose another window on my PC, it's better than
navigate on TSO to browse manual. Yes, I know I can have many screen in
ISPF. I still want my Windows Bookreader.
Just my $0.02
