Re: Data Structure Question

What you like the Internet books!?  I find the CD much easier to find a book.  
Currently
on IBM's website you can't get a URL directly to the book you want.

Always create your own bookshelf and put pointers to the books you read the 
most in that bookshelf.

Congrats Paul !!!

I REALLY tried (well not recently - since I changed jobs I can't find the Book
Manager CD here...).

When IBM FIRST came out with the manuals on CD it was SUCH a great concept and
really leading edge at the time. I got the CD, I was excited ! No more flipping
through the Index's and Tables of Contents trying to guess the different names 
or
titles or whatever that something might be under; I could key them in and hit
"Search"... BOY, if it were up to IBM, and Book Manager was the ONLY way to 
access
manuals on CD, CD Manuals would have DIED ! Not to mention those GREAT graphics
when you requested a Figure <BG>. I know it has gotten better, but it still 
seems
WAY to complicated. It should work MUCH more like Internet stuff as far as TELL 
me
the manuals, EASILY list them, DON'T make me have to go on a treasure hunt to 
just
find a manual !

I did start setting up Book Shelf's at my former site, and that helped...

Oh, well - enough ;-) !
