Re: VM/ESA era manuals?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

CP, CMS, Rexx/VM, XEDIT, etc. reference manuals specific to that version of VM, for example, all of which do have VM/ESA in their titles.? Similar to the few scanned manuals that bitsavers has for VM/XA.

?

Sure would be nice if some dedicated soul(s) could just post actual IBM-generated PDF¡¯s for VM/ESA (and other ancient and out-of-service IBM software) to bitsavers, but I don¡¯t know what the legal and/or copyright implications would be for such donations when such manuals (most of them anyway) are still distributed by IBM from its own websites.

?

Information (especially reference information) should be freely available, but then the lawyers come flocking around . . . ?(:

?

I¡¯m managing by DL¡¯ing (and renaming) from the IBM pub site mentioned earlier in this thread.

What were you looking for that you didn¡¯t find??

?

Note that (for example) RSCS 3.2 does not include VM/ESA in the manual titles. ?

Thanks, that url worked fine for me.

But as Dave McGuire pointed out, not much from the VM/ESA era.

Does anyone know if there is an archive anywhere of VM/ESA era manuals?? I tried getting to but it seems to be bandwidth-overloaded and does not respond.? Are there bitsavers mirrors anywhere?

The ¡°Internet Archve¡± interface doesn¡¯t seem to provide the bitsavers directory structure (or I haven¡¯t figured out how to get it to just let me browse the directories).

Any help you can provide is appreciated.
