I am about to throw out a bunch of old IBM DOS/VSE manuals (late 70s
early 80s
for System 370, so when it says DOS it does NOT mean MS/DOS ;-).
If anybody wants them they are free for local pick up or you pay
shipping.
Note that they'll be shipped from Athens, Greece.
A PL/I Primer - Student Text SC28-6808-1
IBM System/370 Principles of Operation GA22-7000-8
DOS PL/I Optimizing Compiler: Programmer's Guide SC33-0008-2
DOS PL/I Optimizing Compiler: Execution Logic SC33-0019-1
DOS PL/I Resident Library: Program Logic LY33-6011-1
DOS PL/I Transient Library: Program Logic LY33-6012-1 (2 copies)

So what is the big deal. With out the docs, any software is worthless.
I am guessing that if you have the software, and no DOC's a $50..$75
would be a reasonable price to pay for shipping here. *NOTE* just
regular air mail here, none of this stupid over night shipping.

Are you looking for such? I have GC28-8201-3, the PL/I Language
Reference Manual F for OS/360. Not doing me any good; same for
several other DOS/360 language manuals.
I'd assumed that IBM keeps these things in their archives.

Yes, they do, but that doesn't do me any good sitting at home, since
they don't lend.

No spares, but what am I going to do with S/360 manuals? Especially
stuff like "COBOL DASD macros", written for a time when the DOS COBOL
didn't support anything but sequential file access (it'd parse the
statements, but not generate any code)--you had to write and link in
an assembly-code module to do the work. A curiosity, for certain,
but without software or a platform to run it on, worthless to me.
I'll put you on my next "bookshelf cleanup" list.
