Why MVS/Quick-Ref for Windows?
- MVS/Quick-Ref for
Windows incorporates most of the features of MVS/Quick-Ref together
with those of a Windows application. Required information is normally
accessed using a series of dialogs which give the look and feel of the
mainframe menus. These dialogs support wildcard search techniques so
you can locate information by vendor name, product name, or by individual
item name.
MVS/Quick-Ref
for Windows can be used in a variety of ways. For example, for a technical
support specialist, it can be used on a laptop to provide portability
and backup when manuals are not available and you are responding to
system problems offsite. This could carry over to disaster recovery
and give your installation a set of reference materials that can be
easily transported to a recovery site or quickly activated if stored
at the recovery site. Plus,
- It provides a
means of accessing MVS/Quick-Ref data when the mainframe or one of its
software sub-systems is unavailable.
- It provides access
to MVS/Quick-Ref data for users at PCs without the necessity of establishing
a TSO or ROSCOE session.
- It provides an
essential tool for remote support of mainframe applications.
- It provides a
means of distributing documentation and procedures to PC networks.
- It provides an
invaluable stand-alone tool for disaster recovery.
- It provides an
excellent training tool for novices to the MVS arena.
How is MVS/Quick-Ref for
Windows packaged, and what are the system requirements?
MVS/Quick-Ref for
Windows comes on a CD-ROM containing the programs, documentation in
both Word 97 and Adobe Acrobat formats, Windows HELP files, and the
database. The software requires Windows 95 or higher (Windows 98, Windows
ME, Windows NT, or Windows 2000).
The full installation
requires approximately 570 MB of hard disk space. If disk space is a
problem, a compact version requiring approximately 9 MB can be installed,
or it can be executed entirely from the CDROM.
