I have noted several recent articals requesting information or documentation on System V Hardware/Software. Several useful sources that I have found are: AT&T Computer Systems Documentation Catalog (select code 300-000) This can be obtained for free by calling 1-800-432-6600. This lists available UNIX documentation. The latest issue was is dated July 1985; it seems to be published about every 6 months. There is no automatic distribution (something AT&T could improve on) so I call up every 6 months to see if the new catalog is out to order my new one. $echo Newsletter. This is put out by the AT&T Software Sales and Licensing Organization. New UNIX releases and products are announced here. Licensing, pricing and business issues are discussed. One subscription is included with an initial source license. The subscription rate is $87 per year. For more info call 1-800-828-UNIX. UNIX(TM) System Support & Update NEWS. This is put out monthly by the AT&T Computer Systems Support Center in Lisle Ill. It describes bugs and bug fixes, a list of up comming UNIX courses, technical discription of various UNIX features and mini tutorals on UNIX features. Recently covered were a description of the VPM software and how to emulate an array in a shell script by the use of eval. One copy of the news letter is included with each CPU under Level 1 or Level 2 of AT&T software support. It is possible to subscribe to the news letter with out a service contract. A one year subscription for the first copy costs $240, additional subscriptions are $60. Call 1-312-810-6444 for more info. I am not sure if $echo and the Support and Update News are available to non UNIX source licensees but I think they are. Peyton Yanchurak Bell Communications Research pyuxn!pwy

I just called 1-800-432-6600 and they wanted $ 5.00 bucks for the catalog. So, it is not free. However, they do accept charge cards (nice of them, eh?). -- praveen This ain't my goddamn planet, monkey-boy! phaedrus@eneevax.arpa or {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!eneevax!phaedrus

One more source for AT&T doc: The Commercial Sales Documentation Catalog, from the AT&T Customer Information Center (CIC). Which is where you order the doc. from anyway. Ordering info: Call 1-800-432-6600, Operator 102 Select code is 000-011 I just got one, and it covers all kinds of things you could never possibly be interested in.
