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.
