If you're referring to my comment on indexes, this isn't what I meant.
I simply meant the .des files that contain pointers to the actual
books, whether in .boo or .pdf format, and the metadata necessary to
decide if a book is current or has been superceded. It looks as though
IBM is not maintaining those files, perhaps because Softcopy Librarian
has gone away along with Softcopy Reader, even though SL supports the
IBM-preferred PDF format quite nicely.

Easier than what? It was much the easier to let SL do the work...
