Did you read these on a VAX? I?m trying to use MGBOOK (based on VTBOOK), to read the

I?m able to read the Bookreader documentation installed with VAX/VMS 5.5-2 just fine using
MGBOOK.

I plan on updating the description for the CONOLD
CDs with a list of
the books included. That probably means writing a script to extract
that information from the DECW$BOOKSHELF files.
I have now generated a contents listing for the CONOLD CDs:
https://archive.org/details/vms-conold-1989-03

Cheers,
