The table in this section lists the DB2 books. They are divided into
two groups:
Most books are available in HTML and PostScript format, or you can choose
to order a hardcopy from IBM. The exceptions are noted in the
table.
On OS/2 and Windows platforms, HTML documentation files can be installed
under the doc\html subdirectory. Depending on the language of your
system, some files may be in that language, and the remainder are in
English.
On UNIX platforms, you can install multiple language versions of the HTML
documentation files under the doc/%L/html subdirectories. Any
documentation that is not available in a national language is shown in
English.
