Especially from the USENIX "technical consultant". Can you say portable code? I knew you could! I might want manuals for some system I don't own so that I can write code which will compile and run there. I might want to write shell scripts which will run on 4.3BSD. I might want to write Unix utilities (which make system calls or use library routines) which will compile and run on 4.3BSD. My only chance at doing so is having the documentation. If this is the kind of assistance and support you get from USENIX, go with /usr/group. They at least are interested in things like portability and standards. --Andy
