Hoi Betsy,
conserning ADSM-books on intranet.
At our company we are testing with an intranet wich runs on
MVS open edition 1.3. At the moment we can read ower IBM publications on
the intranet. The books are in MVS-bookreader
format but you can also acces them as an NFS (this is decided when you
install bookserver). The people who are testing with it told me they
thought bookserver was also available on other platforms. If you think
too good to be true, you're right. There is a catch, as so often it is
the price. At the moment it is hideous expensive (if you just want to
use it for reading IBM's own manuals over the net). If you are able of
convincing IBM to suply it at a reasonable price when you only use it
for distrbuting IBM-publications it may be a good option for your
intranet. We where unable (it took some time but finaly they desided not
to do it) so for bookserver the test is finished. Who knows maybe its
included in MVS-OE 1.4, the future will tell.
Greetings Koen.
