- I would be interested in knowing what chance there is on getting the
- BookManager Read/DOS for PC/DOS software on the consortium (5601-453). I
- realize the VM based product is available, but this is expensive in terms of
- DASD, and if your system is down, it poses a real problem. The ideal
- solution is to put CD-Roms on a workstation or file server for the entire
- department.
-
- Also, since CDs save IBM enormous amounts of money in printing costs and
- shipping charges, why not have all documentation (VM, AIX, MVS, etc...) on
- the HESC. Everyone would benefit.
-
- If you think this is possible Fred, what kind of timeline might we be
- looking at?
