MAPICS & Mfg systems (was "Accntg software")

Related to MAPICS,

I do think the underlying applications were pretty good (just coded
poorly...no horribly! <g>). Also, IMHO, the manuals were pretty darned good.

This brings up a question I've wanted to post for a while:

Anyone know of some good Manufacturing Systems Resources? I don't mean from
a code perspective---from a "Systems" perspective. My old boss had a real
old set of skinny black books by IBM (called APICS I believe) that were
geared towards this.

To be more specific...materials like the old MAPICS Reference manuals,
Ollie White MRPII book, etc....You know, good "Standard System" references.

Because I work with an in-house MRPII system that we continue to modify,
and with the explosion of ERP packages out there (of which my company is
too cheap to purchase), resources like this would be *extremely valuable*
to me.

Thanks in advance,
Wynn Osborne
