[comp.unix.questions] BSD 4.X manuals available

mark@promark.UUCP (Mark J. DeFilippis) (09/18/89)

A few weeks ago I posted a request for info. and received no response.
I assume, the article may have been trashed when a local site on our path
croaked, so I am reposting the request for a second attempt.

Recently I have had the misfortune of having to port several applications
from BSD 4.X to various vendors flavors of System V.  It has been pure
hell without a set of BSD 4.X manuals.  I know that System V manuals are
available from several book publishers, however these same publishers
do not have a similar set of manuals for BSD 4.X.

Does anyone know where I can get an entire set of manuals for BSD without
having to get a specific hardware vendors set. (ie, DEC ULTRIX, etc...)

I would appreciate any responses via email please, unless you have seen
requests similar to this before and you feel others would be interested.
I let you be the judge.

Thanks in advance

	I know that USENIX has a license to publish the manual set, but
the idiots don't put their address or telephone number in the manuals
themselves, so I don't know where to call/write/fax to get more copies!!!
