(which is why I wrote "library reader" although I didn't capitalize it). I do have the new one installed on my workstation because the old one doesn't support PDF bookshelves and the WebSphere stuff is only available as PDF now. >We put our stuff on the mainframe and use web-based Library Server for >z/OS to access via our Intranet.

If it took extra cycles on z/OS then that would be one more thing to add to our costs so I guess I shouldn't look at doing it. At least not until it runs on a zAAP or zIIP. :-) I have enough software to configure and support on z/OS as it is! :-) :-) I guess my preference is the windows version because that is what I have used since the CD collections became available. Not many shops I've been at had it on MVS. Here, the sysplex that read/mvs is on gets poor TSO response time as it is and I assume searches would go to TSO period 2 or 3. I know the guys that grew up with that sysplex (I inherited it via consolidation) use it on MVS.
