Thanks for the link, Lizette. To answer Marna's question about the index files in the "zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015" directory, they are used by Adobe Acrobat. In Windows Explorer if you click on the "zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015.pdx" file in the parent directory of the one containing the index files, an Acrobat search window will open. The button named "in the index named zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015.pdx" should be already checked. Type something in the search box (fwfriendly for example) and press enter or click on "search". For "fwfriendly" it listed 9 documents. I clicked on one to see all the places that the word occurs in the document. Then clicked on one of those to see the whole page.
