Tony is correct. Softcopy Reader consists of a Java GUI wrapped around (via JNI) the platform-specific binaries which access the proprietary BookManager document format. The Shelf Organizer component of Softcopy Reader contains limited "BookManager-like" support for indexed extended shelves of PDFs which have been enabled with an IBM Advanced Linguistic Search index.
The last Linux packaging of Softcopy Reader was V3.7 back in 2007. The most recent Windows packaging was V4.0 in 2012. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018849 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
