Hello all,
I'm looking for a PDF copy of IBM manual GC26-3792-8. The System
Generation manual for MVS 3.8; the only PDF I found of GC26-3792 is of
the -1 version, which is not particularly helpful.
I found a DjVu of the manual (via this site:
<http://tk3.comlu.com/mvs380/Vintage_Manuals.html>) namely here:
<www.classiccmp.org/softlib/manuals/GC26-3792-8/GC26-3792-8.djvu>
Unfortunately, downloading the DjVu file does nothing (SumatraPDF on
Windows can't render any of the pages, and Evince on Debian 8.2.0 just
ignores the file); the Java applet to view it works... except it
doesn't play nice with my accessibility needs.
So, anyone have a PDF of that manual?
Cheers,
Christian

If someone can find real djvu files for those manuals, I will
convert them to pdf and put them on bitsavers.
Any site that requires you to start java and use their djvu
web applet is concentrated evil.

Porbably because URLs were in the e-mail, I would guess.
...And now I'm probably in a spam list. So that's fun.
Also, I'd like to send my thanks out to Jim Stephens who found both a
better link to the manuals, and more importantly a way to get the DjVu
files to PDF. Thank you kindly!
Cheers,
Christian

"Concentrated evil" was the best expression of the month. Congratulations,
