The obstacle might be updating all publications to use document titles in cross references instead of 8.3 names.

Working in a new directory (in the same filesystem): o I created document titles as *hard* links to the 8.3 pdf files. o I created 8.3 names as symlinks to those hard links. Now, with Mac Preview, the document titles appear in window title bars and File; Open Recent shows document titles. Adobe Reader shows the 83 names. In both cases, cross-references continue to work. Except, I used the HLASM General Info as a test because it has a nice Bibliography. But some links there work; others don't. For example, the link to the JCL User's Guide works; the link to the JCL Reference doesn't. The filename appears to be wrong. I'll submit an RCF. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
