Actually, it is downloadable. If you click on "IBM Softcopy" on the
Information Center's home page, it lists the collection's publication
number. If you then click on the Quick Publications Center search link that
is also on that page and then enter the publication's number and hit search
it will list several versions that can be downloaded and installed.
Bad thing about this is it looks like there's an update every quarter or so
and each download is about 1200 MB or so. So much for diffs.
I seem to recall the CICS explorer would download documentation updates.
But I don't recall if it was smart enough to just pull the updated books
only.
I'm not sure what the newer IBM explorer does.
