My roommate is very seriously considering getting A/UX for his shiny
new (and just fixed after being DOA) IIcx. The Canadian prices for it are
$500 for media and $700 for printed docs.
The only vendors of it around here is the university bookstore, whose sales
staff errr... leave a lot to be desired. (Kind of like trying to get help
from a rock.)
The $700 for docs sounds out of line initially, but considering the price
of Sun docs, maybe not. I have access to and possess a lot of documentation
for several variants of unix myself. My roommate is trying to finance this
on a student's budget, and would like to know if the documentation is strictly
necessary.
So if I could ask some kind netter to substitute for the poor local sales
staff, I'd like to ask a few questions:
Do you get on-line manual pages ?
Do you get sources to any docs ? (I know wishful thinking.)
Is the majority of the documentation necessary to run the system or are
only small parts Apple specific ?
Just what do you get for $700 ?
Thanks Kindly in Advance.
