According to the CD-ROM, you can print all the copies you want for your own
internal use. I have to believe that the same freedom applies to materials
gained from the Internet. IBM promotes the PDF versions as 'printable', and
there are 'print' options on the HTML versions.

You can print the entire manuals from the Web. You can choose portions or
all of a manual. You then get a 'print preview'. You can use the Composer
feature of Netscape to open the 'preview' in Composer. When you save the
HTML document in Composer, it also saves any of the graphics.

This approach does not preserve links, unfortunately. And the resulting
HTML files can be very large. It might be better to determine the links to
the pages on IBM's site and make those links available, if possible.
