What is really "amusing" to me is that when I browsed it, it looked very
similar to an "old style" BookManager data set. So I looked at the DCB
characteristics of one of my existing BookManager MVS manuals. It is
FBS/4096/4096. I then created an empty data set with those characteristics,
and did a binary copy (cp -B) of the hpuza200.book file into it. Guess
what? I could then open it in ISPF BookManager READ!

BookManager is alive and well and living in z/OS UNIX!
