- Two things about the section on the Purple Book that appeared in the most
- recent article.
-
- First, the price is no longer "about 30 dollars". Doug Gwyn corrected
- that. Here's his message to save scanning the archive:

- Select Code 307-127 is supposed to cover both volumes together.
- Total price is something like $52; still $37 a volume I think.
- (Previous SVID owners should have received a discount coupon
- to upgrade to Release 2 for just $37.)
-
- Volume 1 is essentially equivalent to the whole previous SVID;
- Volume 2 is mostly commands and a few add-ons (e.g. curses).
-
- Volume-Number: Volume 6, Number 13
-
- As a previous SVID owner, I can confirm that I received a discount
- coupon permitting me to upgrade for $37 (and used it).
-
- Second, at the Atlanta USENIX conference the ATT salespeople said they
- expected to put out the next issue of the SVID, covering the Release 3
- items (streams, networking, etc.) in November or so. No doubt there
- will be a discount again, but if you can borrow a copy until then you
- might want to save some money and not order one right away.
