Hi Dave, No flame war, just good, positive feedback. Another poster mentioned the ability to download manuals thru Softcopy Librarian (I haven't actually looked at it because I've been happy in my little world of Bookie and my 1.11 library installed on my PC) and Bob Rutledge kindly pointed me to a location where I can still get the library for download.
Just the way the list is supposed to work. :-) Rex -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gibney, Dave Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 2:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: revisiting the documentation dilemma I haven't read the rest of the thread yet. Let the flames possibly roar, but Softcopy Librarian still worked for me to download z/OS 2.1. Unforutantely, is only .pdf's. But it did bring me shelves and the Softcopy Reader: Shelf Organizer allows me to find what I want when I need it. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler > Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 8:31 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: revisiting the documentation dilemma > > Correct, DVDs are no longer being produced.
