I don't know MGBOOK, so I can't help you there. On my VAXstation 3100
running VMS 5.5-2, I can read the documentation using the standard
DECW$BOOKREADER application after doing:
DEFINE/SYSTEM DECW$BOOK DKA400:[DECW$BOOK]
Thanks! Knowing that helps. I don?t have a monitor on any of my VAXstations, so couldn?t
try that.

Did you read these on a VAX? I?m trying to use MGBOOK (based on
VTBOOK), to read the files from
CDROM-AG-NC67C-RE-1989-07-VMS-CONOLD.iso. I?m on a system running
VAX/VMS 5.5-2, and I am able to read the DECW$BOOKSHELF files, but not
the DECW$BOOK files.
I?m able to read the Bookreader documentation installed with VAX/VMS
5.5-2 just fine using MGBOOK.
