>I've always felt it was a bad idea to have installation mainframe 
documentation too far separated from the mainframe platform itself or dependent 
on any other server platforms, under the general premise that in a DR situation 
if we have recovered the mainframe we want to be sure 
we have access to all documentation needed to operate it.

In 1981, my first job, we printed the IPL instructions and got into trouble 
with management because the documentation was online (on the mainframe).
My question was:
"How do we read the IPL instructions when/if the mainframe was down?"
