Traditional ???? What are you talking about? Tried grepping at a stack of paper lately? *REAL* Unix comes with a two page note explaining how to boot from the distribution tape. The manuals live in /usr/man/ and you print them yourself. That's the way 4.2bsd was done, and that's the way it should be. Paper manuals are an AT&T-ism - "At Extra Cost". Damn right. Obviously the first thing to do is to get a good OCR scanner and read the things in. Paper manuals, oh how wonderful. Next thing will be paper email... -- -- Ross Alexander (403) 675 6311 rwa@aungbad.AthabascaU.CA VE6PDQ
