Hi gil,
Thanks for suggesting a link for *.pdx in the index file. I'll pass it
along and see if the builders have a way to do it.

Symbolic links? (maybe).
Of course, I know of no OS nowadays that enforces that archaic 8.3 naming
convention.
Since we realize that the cryptic PDF file names don't mean anything to
most of you, we provide an HTML file within the PDF collection that
lists links to every PDF as extracted to your local system, and the
links are the titles of the PDF. Look for "ZOSV02R03_index.htm" in the
V2R3 Indexed PDF collection.
The better way. Should work with most browsers.
As for the Acrobat indexed functionality (e.g.
zOS_V2R3_Documentation.pdx) not working on an iPad, that's as expected -
that particular function of the collection is supported on Windows based
systems only.
Works fine on Mac. I believe the requisite is Adobe reader.
I was disappointed not to find the mention of Documentation.pdx as an
anchor in index.htm. So I tried making it one in a copy of index.htm
Didn't work. Some browsers are dumbfounded by it, and I couldn't
fix associations; others try opening it as a page within the browser, but
the description in index.htm says it must be opened only by Adobe
Reader. Shame on those browsers. Grrr.
To quickly find whatever z/OS content that you need, always start at the
z/OS Internet Library (
http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/library/bkserv/ ).
That's the one I'm familiar with. Is there anything similar for VM?
Thanks,
gil
