What is the preferred way to convert BookMgr books to PDF?
My customer has some home-written BookMgr books, which they cannot access
after the z/OS migration (BookMgr support was dropped with z/OS 2.4).
We managed to transfer the books to Windows (and OS/2, BTW), where we can
at least look at the books. Now I would like to convert the books to PDFs.
But the free Softcopy Reader refuses to print more than one (selected)
topic
or ranges of topics; if you try to do this using the print menu
(selected or range),
the output is always empty.
Is this a bug - or: is printing larger portions of text not allowed in
the free version?
What are the options?
The eMail address book...@us.ibm.com, which is mentioned in the Softcopy
Reader
help texts, doesn't exist any more (BTW: the Softcopy Reader is a 2012
edition;
this seems to be the last one available).
Is there a documented API to read the books using a C or REXX program
and build the PDFs this way? Or build HTML from the books?
Thanks for all suggestions,
kind regards
Bernd
