Re: Current source for VM/ESA Manuals?

 

Hi?Ren¨¦ and all,

Thanks for the quick and helpful responses. I am, as it happens, without sight of any kind, hence why I prefer documents in original electronic format whenever possible to spare me from having to figure out what the sometimes badly mangled OCR results are saying.

I've so far found the provided redbook invaluable. I'm at the point of running MVS/ESA under VM using pre-provided directory entries, which is a decent step :)

I particularly appreciate the block-oriented nature of the 3270, as the screen reader program handles it in some ways far better than more typical character-by-character UI on, say, Linx.

I will reach out off-list regarding the larger manual collections, as I don't want to clutter up the traffic :)
Best,
Zack.

I am not sure what you mean here, no previous knowledge or no sight? :-/

Anyway, if it is the first, I would recommend reading this:

It introduces to the basics of z/VM (actually z/VM 5.3) but most of the material there applies to VM/ESA as well (since it covers the basics).

P.S. -- I have a fairly complete documentation of z/VM 5.3 in PDF format (81 books for 288M). If you are interested, just tell me, I will send it to you.
