Every time a new z/OS operating system level comes along I go to the IBM 
library page and download each manual I'm interested in (i.e. most in the MVS 
bookshelf) one at a time and give them somewhat meaningful names like "zos 110 
init and tuning ref.pdf" instead of iea2e291.pdf for example.  What do you do?  
 

I just tried out using the DownloadThemAll Firefox add-on and you can easily 
get all manuals with the cryptic 8.3 filenames.   I found a PDF library for 
Python that is easy enough to use to display the titles by the file names.  See 
this web page I created: 

  http://www.planetmvs.com/mvsintosh/IBM_Manuals/index.html

I'm probably missing a lot easier way of doing things.  I started searching for 
some type of freeware that displays PDF titles in a directory but have been 
unlucky so far.  Any suggestions?
