Colleagues, My thoughts on the Book Manager versus PDF issue:
- Because I need to view so many different versions of manuals, for different releases of IMS, z/OS, DFSMS, etc., it is not practical to download copies of all manuals to my work PC, home PC, laptop, etc., or to charge someone with doing the same on a company server. - Downloading PDF manuals is very slow, even on a high-speed link, because the size of the manuals is so large it takes a distractingly large amount of time. - Book Manager manuals are fast because only the portion you need is downloaded - Ditto what everyone else is saying about search capability - Ditto what everyone else is saying about printing.
