Yup - I have no love lost for those days Mark. But the current approach of acres of whitespace and endless links is worse in my opinion. And of course when the internet goes out ...

Hi, Jack, and Jon, et al ...

Recalling multiple feet of IBM printed manuals we used to have to manually search through, using the index at the back of each one, to find answers, back in the day, on IBM mainframes, S/3x midrange systems, and AS/400s, prior to the advent of "the internet" and BookManager, and eventually CD-ROMs and .pdf documents, etc.

Fun times!

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

I honestly don't recall now Jack - I spent a lot of time on the web
yesterday and have slept since then. It was probably something to do with
windowing of dates in Db2.


Well, you figured it out, we'll figure it out, on to the next foofrah.
The problem is mostly the size of the body of literature IBM has pumped out
over 70 years of digital binary computing.
It wasn't that much easier when everything was on pub.boulder.ibm.com
Book manager ... SGML ... plasma displays ... :)
Life goes on and the world turns.
