Now, I know a lot, from experimentation, about how IBM has set this up. You can go to the site: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/df/zosv1r9paz.des This is the control file which is used by Softcopy Librarian to download the PDF books. You will see a number of entries which start with: ELM_DIRECT_NAME="..." The information in this is the http address to place after http://publib.boulder.ibm.com to get the PDF. E.g ELM_DIRECT_NAME="/epubs/pdf/iea2g881.pdf" is stored at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/iea2g881.pdf Now, if only you had a Linux/UNIX system available, you could use wget with some simple scripting to do the download for you. Something like: wget http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/df/zosv1r9paz.des perl -p -e "if (m/\.pdf/) { s/ELM_DIRECT_NAME//; s/\"//g; print; }" zosv1r9paz.des | \ while read i;do wget http://publib.boulder.ibm.com$i;done #and bob's your uncle.
