it occurred to me that while the UNIX (4.2) manual set was
available at our copy center for around $100 (and that includes
broken out portions of the administrator's stuff etc, a
realistic complete set for a student costs more like $50) an
equivalent set of docs for VMS would fill a couple of
bookshelves and cost hundreds of dollars.
So true! By the way, the 4.3 manuals have been completely re-typeset
and look terrific -- in addition, they have been re-arranged, along the
lines of the 4.2 USENIX versions (although there are now 6 volumes
instead of the 5) ... no word yet about the availabilty of 4.3 manuals
from USENIX in the small format ...
