Sorry, I don't know what that used to point to so I can't help.

If you're looking for the DFSORT books, you can access them all from:

www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/software/sort/mvs/srtmpub.html

Yeah, I know it sounds silly, but it's a matter of following the links
from the right starting place to the right ending place. It's just
the way Bookmanager sets things up. If you use the pdf version of the
DFSORT APG and just start at the beginning of the INCLUDE doc, all the
silliness ends. :)

Glad you find the humor as well, Mr Yaeger, but I'd disagree that it was
'just the way Bookmanager sets things up'; a few years back I posted what
I had been taught a few decades back in
<http://groups.google.com/group/alt.cobol/msg/6270125dc1834814?dmode=source&hl=en>

As I was taught: 'An IBM manual contains 25 chapters, each of which
assumes intimate familiarity with the other 24.'
