I have a ibm manual in bookmanager format (it's a

anyone happen to have the software to import this, then put it back
out as pdf (preferred) or some other format that I can print from
cover to cover? If so, please contact me off list. I googled for
this and found some leads, but none of them still had the reader
software available for download.
You managed to dredge up some antique memory, it seems to me that
OS/2 had a reader for these, back in the 2.0 era. Though you might
need a developer CD to find it... That's the part that really
confuses me, where on earth would I have gotten a OS/2 developer CD
15 years ago... Oh, I remember now, because IBM was sending them to
me for some reason... But why...
OK, that's about the extent of what I can remember. Weird. I'd
totally forgotten all of that, interesting what a word or two can
bring back.
