I just did a TYPE *.DECW$BOOKSHELF in a simulated vax and wrote a little
python script to generate the contents listing.

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]

Cheers,
Malte
