What a sad comment that people have to write shell scripts and use browser 
plugins to make the z/OS documentation usable.

Subject: Re: Knowledgecentre versus the library server

I use Linux as my workstation, but the following works well for me.
Similar things would work on other *nixes, windows, etc.

1) I use the "DownThemAll!" FF plugin to easily download all of the PDFs at 
once for a particular z/OS release.
2) I have a shell script that uses the "pdfinfo" command to pick off the PDF 
main title and then creates symlinks using the title as an alternate file name.
    This makes it easy to look at a directory and use "find" on part of a file 
name to quickly select one or related pdfs.
    Keeping the original file name makes inter-pdf references open by just 
clicking in a PDF viewer.
3) I use the "recoll" indexer to index and allow text searching of my entire 
library.
