The undesirable other extreme is as IBM did in splitting the Assembler Callable 
Services
simply by alphabetic ranges.  Search, Index, and ToC become less useful.

The page at <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0> shows some organization
into "shelves", but not what I'm used to.  I see no shelf for Unix System 
Services
as formerly.

The 1GB .zip does have a .pdx.  I overlooked it earlier somehow.  It organizes
search results by relevance.  But some may find the Adobe Reader requirement
onerous.

But no index.htm[l].

And the collection expands into "zOS310-GA-Indexed-PDF-package-(2023-09-29)/".
I'm uncomfortable with using shell metacharacters in path names.
