I am putting together the documentation for many of the software packages distributed via usenet. I would like to know who else would be interested in it. It will be a printed double sided on 6 1/4 x 8 1/2 loose leaf paper in a binder (not sure if I can get slip cases at an appropriate price). Rough estimates are around $10.00 per copy. As the quantity increases the price will drop (Note: I wll not be making any money off of this venture, I just want the manuals for my company and since it is cheaper to do it in quantity, I thought to ask if anybody else wanted the stuff). Currently the following documentation will be included: bnews cnews elm gnu-grep gcc gdb less mcc perl sz (sy,sx,rz,ry,rx) where texi2roff afio btoa,atob,compress,uncompress undump hdiff procomm rn vi.clone Note: I did not include gnu-emacs because you can get a perfectly acceptable copy directly from the FSF. If you are interested send a message to me indicating the number of copies you will probably want. Once I get a feel for the number of copies needed I will send mail indicating a more accurate price. You will then be asked to pay the price for each copy or we can send it UPS cod (you pay the cod charges). The time frame for all this to happen "is" (may be adjusted) as follows: Dec 27 - post this message Jan 15 - accumulate all responses and calculate price You should get a message from me around this time. Jan 30 - go to print Feb 9 - ship em out Note that all this is just in a preliminary stage. If there is little or no response to this message the project will die a sudden death. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Conor P.
