Re: InfoCenters (Was: Re: z/OS 1.10 and Data Areas)
Last year, I downloaded the IEHS and successfully ran it on my Windows laptop as a stand-alone application. It's kinda big (like 12MB), but it works. http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/iehs Ed, did you find books in eplcise plugin format, e.g. the z/OS library? -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

I was experimenting with and testing the platform for (E)JES books only. I never thought to look for z/OS books or any other books. But, you bring up an excellent point! If one can install IEHS locally, where does one download the books to populate it? I have not yet seen an equivalent to the Softcopy Librarian for the eclipse-style plug-ins. As I understand it, IBM gives out DVDs at SHARE, with fully-populated, ready-to-run InfoCenters, for those people that complete the documentation survey and/or attend Geoff Smith's sessions. If they made that available as an .iso image, that would be a start. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 5200 W Century Blvd, Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-338-0400 x318 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
