IBM SCL needs more content for kc4z, eg.: DB2, MQ, WAS, etc.

I used kc4z since there was no pulldown for IBM Softcopy Librarian. We need more content available from SCL in kc4z format. I'm trying to get off of BookManager and replace it with kc4z, but I'm between a rock and a hardplace. Apparently, z/OS 2.2 manuals are not available in BookManager format, but they are in kc4z format. However, except for CICS, no other system z products are available in kc4z format, which means now I have to support TWO (2) applications; BookManager, and kc4z !! Please accelerate the creation of kc4z format deliverables for IBM Softcopy Librarian V5.

    IBM Softcopy Librarian is no longer the way Knowledge Center for z/OS gets populated. We have a new FTP site that has some additional software products. ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/systems/z/zos/sftp/kc/. We are investigating other methods to get broader participation from other software products. We understand the value of having all IBM content in your own repository and are working on the problem.
