To throw in a shameless plug, if you have MVS/QuickRef, much of the IBM and ISV content is available on your mainframe for instant access, internet or not, KC up or down, USB plugable, etc. And for our clients, if there is content we do not currently have that you desire, let us know and we will do our best to obtain that content and add it to our database.
Prior to becoming a developer for MVS/QuickRef, every shop I worked in as a s/p had QuickRef. If it didn't when I arrived, it did by the time I left. I don't know what I would have done without it. It's almost impossible to keep physical manuals up to date as quickly as software changes. Ramsey Hallman MVS/QuickRef Development Chicago-Soft, Ltd.
