Hi, James:
I recall using a Java version of the "IBM Library Reader" ...
I found this with a google search for "IBM Library Reader for Mac OS" ...
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!topic/bit.listserv.ibm-main/TNB-mbcAYxA
Excerpt below (from near the bottom of the above page.)
========================================================
- Download the linux version, ilrjava.tar, of the IBM Softcopy Reader.
- Extract the files via "tar -xvf ilrjava.tar" or Stuffit!
- To run the Book Reader: "java -jar book.jar"
- To run the Bookshelf Organizer: "java -jar shelves.jar"
Make sure you have your classpaths and whatnot properly set.
If you want double-clickable applications, get the developer tools that
shipped with your OS and wrap those commands up with MRJAppBuilder.
I abandoned LR when they started providing PDF version of all their
books. But I tried this just now (sans books) and it looks fine.
========================================================
Hope That Helps,
Mark S. Waterbury

Finally got my Mac Mini at work. Finally some light at the end of the

But over the weekend, I realized that there are a whole lot of manuals
that I access regularly, that (for my purposes) only exist on the
Softcopy CD.
And I think everybody here already knows my opinion of the
Disinformation Center.
While there's always the alternative of generating PDFs of the books I
actually use, it would be nice to be able to access the softcopy CD
directly, just in case I need to look up something in a volume I
didn't think to convert.
