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

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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
