This is the "unlicensed" version of IBM BookMgr/2

It only works for IBM Published Online Books.


Just a quick note on how to setup IBM Library Reader:


copy the files into a target directory.

add the following statement to your config.sys

SET IBMREAD=X:\BookPath

where X:\BookPath points to the path where you store
your book files *.BOO

You can then set up a program object to start IBMREAD.EXE

You might also want to set up associations to .boo files.

Further documentation is in the 3 included .boo files

    Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
