Many of us use MMoS or the Sun Style Guide as a basis for writing
PC-related documents.

Can anyone suggest a similar style guide for mainframe computer
documentation?

I contacted IBM's Publications Center, and they claim to have no idea
what I'm talking about. IBM docs are inconsistent in their style, but
it's hard to believe that they don't have a style guide. The contact
person also didn't know what I meant by a Tech Pubs manager...

Yes, I can make style decisions and apply them consistently, but it
would save time to have a published guide as a basis. And I have yet to
find a single Web resource that provides what I want.

Thanks.
