[cctalk] IBM .BOO format

[Liam Proven via cctalk]

Does anyone have any experience with the IBM BookManager format and the 
tools to read it?


I've not found any way to open them on a Mac. No joy on Linux yet 
either; there's an old unmaintained tool that uses a 32-bit Java app.


I found 2 Windows tools.

One, IBM Library Reader, won't install on Win11.

The other a Java app, IBM Softcopy Reader.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-softcopy-reader

It installs and runs on Win11 and I can print to PDF -- but only 1 page 
at a time. Selecting multiple pages give me an empty PDF.


I found the original IBM CUA documentation and want to convert it to 
some more modern, open format, but I am not having much luck...
