Support for BookManager format being discontinued (IBM)
As part of IBM's ongoing effort to deliver the best possible information experience to our customers, we are optimizing the information that is delivered with our products for viewing in the information center and phasing out the BookManager format.

You might have noticed that the information for new products and features, such as the DB2 Accessories Suite for z/OS information, is not offered in BookManager format in the Version 9.1 library for DB2 for z/OS. The BookManager books will continue to be provided for the life cycle of our versions through Version 9.1; however, we do not intend to deliver BookManager books for new releases in the future.
