There are two different collections. Perhaps one of the IBM contributors can 
explain why that is.

SK4T-4949 includes a readme.txt file that says to launch index.htm in a 
browser. As far as I see, this collection does not contain any .idx files. This 
looks better to me than what you get with pdfindex.htm.

SC27-8430 has a file called z_OS V2R2 PDF Collection Acrobat Index.pdx. Open 
this with Adobe Reader. A window will open asking if it's ok to access files on 
your hard drive. Tell it that is and you will be able to search. I assume, but 
do not know, that the .idx files are used by Acrobat  for the search.

I've downloaded both collections because they are useful in different ways. If 
they could combine the capabilities of both in one collection, that would be an 
improvement, and I wouldn't need two copies of all of the books.
