As we consider each vendor's set of products and service, IBM brought one
thing to our attention.  It is called BookManager, and it apparently
provides online access to documentation including the ability to print
portions of manuals as well as view them online.  While I don't have a
large number of IBM systems, I am interesdted in knowing more about its
usefulness in relation to Bookreader from DEC.  My staff has been less than
enthusiastic about OLD, and my users even less excited.  Can anyone comment
on BookManager in comparison with Bookreader?  I would dearly love to not
have to buy so many trees worth of documentation, but so far OLD has not
been a big win here.

We also do not like the new perfectbound style of manuals.  They don't work
very well when placed in racks for public access.  I voiced this at DECUS
in the exhibit hall, but apparently DEC is proceeding with it.

Between perfectbound manuals and OLD, this leaves us with very little in
the way of friendly means of providing access to documentation.
