[comp.sys.next] Sybase documentation problems

rock@lighthouse.com (Roger Rock Rosner) (09/25/89)

We want to learn how to use Sybase.  Not being inclined to spend the
$400 to get printed documentation from Sybase, we're trying to read it
on line.  However, there are some problems.  (BTW, I know nothing
about the roff universe, so I could just be wrong.)

- /NextLibrary/Documentation/Sybase/SAG/sag2 has some confused
  formatting.  It's still readable.

- /NextLibrary/Documentation/Sybase/SAG/sag3 is mostly unreadable
  using nroff or ptroff.  I think it's missing its figures.

They're may be other documentation problems, but we've kind of ground
to a halt here.  We'd appreciate suggestions for getting this stuff
formatted.  

Thanks,

P.S. Quick calculations seem to indicate using the NeXT printer costs
about 5 cents/page.  So we figure printing the ~1000 pages of Sybase
documentation costs about $50, a far cry from the $400 Sybase wants.
Does 5 cents/page sound reasonable?
