next time I change the subject line as appropriate & remember to say "located

greg
friend of mine located in Leicester has the following
manuals :
"set of VME Series 39 manuals. VME is the operating system that runs
on ICL mainframes. Nottingham City Council used to have one, but it
was sold to an oursourcing company a few years ago when we started
migrating off of the mainframe onto unix.
Now we are come to the Day of Doom for our mainframe apps - all will
be gone in a couple of months. I've been clearing out cupboards and
have discovered a few manuals that escaped the earlier purge, to wit
and viz: Vocabulary of SCL Command Specifications (4-volume epic)
System Management Dictionary System Management (2 off) Moving
Workloads Work Scheduling SAM User Guide File Transfer System
Performance Accounting, Charging & Budgeting (2 off) ICL Cobol C2
compiler (on open reel tape!) VME-X System Administrator's Reference
Manual VME-X User's Reference Manual OPENframework/92 Systems
Integration Guide ...plus a handful of smaller guides about diverse
subjects
All in good nick. I will let anyone have them who wants them, on a
first- come, first-serve basis. Just pay for the postage. To give you
an idea of the size, this should all fit into 3 Walker's Crisps
boxes."
