You can't read bookmanger files with just a browser, you would need the bookmanager web server.

Id like to put these into an HFS file and use a browser for reading them. Aside from using ftp to copy to an HFS file is there other set steps involved? Thanks Matt >>> Leo Smith <[email protected]> 1/29/2009 9:50 AM >>> |I found this site that has the z1.9 collection in PDF format, but they are all separate down loads.

Thanks Matt |http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r9/index.jsp Hey Matt, There's no ftp site available for the z/OS PDFs. However, you have several options for downloading. the PDFs. One is the way you mentioned, downloading one-by-one off the z/OS PDF pages at: http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/r9pdf/ Another way would be to use Softcopy Librarian which is available at: http://www.ibm.com/software/applications/office/bkmgr/librarian.html: A third way would be to use a Web crawler on the PDF page you're interested in. For example, I've used HTTrack to copy entire BookManager books. For your purpose, you would just point HTTrack at the PDF page you're interested in and it should download all of the PDFs on the page. True, it will also download stuff you don't want, like links to HTML pages and graphics, but you can set an exclusion list for HTTrack that will exclude any file extension you're not interested in (like HTML pages). You can find HTTrack at: http://www.httrack.com/page/2/en/index.html Lastly, you could choose not to download at all and get the CD or DVD containing the z/OS elements and features pubs. For z/OS V1R9, the order number for the CD is SK3T-4269-20 and for the DVD, it's SK3T-4271-20. If it was me doing this, I'd try HTTrack. Hope this helps.
