Can you supply a list of these manuals ?
I can scan them providing they are A4 or Letter and make them available on the bitsaver and other sites but need to check that they or some of them are not currently available.

Hi all,
My name is Bob Carlson and I was once a quiet member of this group. I did talk a lot with Fish back then.
I started as an operator on one of the first IBM 1440s, then began programming in Autocoder. By the time S/360s were popular I was a systems programmer. Around the year 2000, I bought a surplus P/390 with all it's software. At the time the software was licensed to the machine. I hopped up that old 390, but the hardware (both network and dasd) just couldn't keep up with my needs.
Along came Hercules... I was saved. My software license provided the ability to run as needed on a backup machine, as long as it was on premises. It also provided use on an offsite backup machine. We had the option of not getting upgrades or other support from IBM as the original purchase of the P/390 was from a 3rd party vendor who provided service with the purchase. I still have that machine, as well as a slightly faster P/390 I had purchased for parts.
I had been running DOS VSE/ESA 2.1 under Hercules (up to 3.7)? on a WINDOWS/XP Desktop for over 10 years, until I got tired and turned it off.
Is there any interest in a bunch of manuals out there ??
Bob
