If I have managed to follow all the talk about documentation for NS 2.0 correctly, then it seems that: There is one or more juicy sections of the documentation (such as the Concepts chapter) which is/will be available only on paper, and is not distributed with the machines. The reasons seem to be: 1) The electronic form wasn't ready when the machines were shipping, and/or 2) Thoughts that the space taken up was not generally worth it and/or 3) some other reasons that I've missed. Be this as it may, I'm led to wonder why NeXT doesn't just offer the whole documentation set entirely on floppy? I mean, if you have to plunk $n down to get the whole doc on paper, why don't they just allow one to put $m dollars down to get it all on diskette? I know that I (though, maybe I'm alone on this one) would always prefer things in an electronic format over paper. And I'd happily pay for it. Is there some reason NeXT would not be able to do this if enough people politely pestered them? \david

I just picked up the Concepts from cs.orst.edu. I finally think I know what I am doing; cost me about 1 hour of work. Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E. Mayer (Prof.) Department of Physics, University of California Irvine CA 92717;(714) 856 5543; hardy@golem.ps.uci.edu or MMAYER@UCI.BITNET
