[ADSM-L] Spectrum Protect documentatie on Knowledgecenter site

Hi Andy
Here is the link to the ftp site where the pdf.zip is available.


Download and unzip the package that contains all of the PDF files for a
release from the following FTP site:
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/products/TSM/current/


Thanks,
Ailbhe

P.S. By "what you are looking for", I mean a zip bundle of the PDF files. I
regret that I have no satisfactory answer regarding the Admin Guide.

Andy
