There are other IBM products besides z/OS that are already dropping the .boo format for some of their books. I recently had the need to get current books for DB2 V9.1 for z/OS. I've found many of them in both .pdf and .boo format while some were available only as .pdf. >So that should allay some of the fear. Not really, see my comment above. >I do not have any idea if only "book format on the WEB' vs "book format >on TSO as well as on the WEB" is a consideration. I did note the several >comments from folks who use the book format on TSO. Is the .boo format found in the CDs any different from either the "WEB" or the "TSO" format? If so, then there need to be 3 formats. I'm really having a hard time to understand why providing manuals in .boo format or not is an issue at all. IBM manuals, at least in the z-area, have a common look which seem to indicate they are all written with similar tools and strong sytle rules. Isn't there an automated process of producing .boo, .html, .pdf and what else from the same source? What a shame. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
