Not all messages prevent the machine from working. Only those that
prevent the machine from operating would need to be provided in printed
form. Look at the thickness of the error manual for VMS. That alone
is justification for not providing it all in printed form. 

But it should be available online as part of the documentations because
you can't do a thing with those messages otherwise! 
There is a printed list with AIX that is pretty usefull. I 
am sure they can do one here as well. The hypertext nature of the .inf would
be a natural for all those messages throwing you back and forth around various
procedures.

Back in 88 when I worked with AIX it didn't have a 'man'. That was
laughable an nobody could beleive it. The reason circulated around 
was even worst. Things look like they are improving. Keep it up.
