IMHO it's legitimate to make an on topic reference to your products in response to a post. That's not the same as spamming the list.
I wonder how many subscribers are not already aware of QuickRef? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

There is a company, Chicago-Soft, Ltd, for which I work, who offers a product MVS/QuickRef. QuickRef, among other things (and there are many more), contains tons of documentation from IBM and most ISV's (a few will not allow us to reproduce their manuals). Our library includes Broadcom, BMC, LRS, Rocket, and many small vendors, as well as large amounts of IBM documentation. We stay current on product updates over the course of a year and offer updates between releases, as vendors release documentation out of our release cycle, so anyone can stay current. We also accept requests to add specific documentation if it is not currently in our database. I don't intend this to be a shameless plug for our product, though it probably is, but it certainly resolves the issue of trying to ftp documentation from a website or having to use outdated documentation. I simply mention this as a possibility to resolve what is becoming a very real problem for many shops.
