- i got 1.2.1 before manuals were printed and i wanted to read these files
- so that i could get 1.2.1 running properly. believe me, they are not
- worth reading - correct that - they are not worth reading with
- BookManager/2. its a horrible interface since you can only see about 30
- or so lines and you can only print what you can see on the screen. there
- was no way to print the whole thing or even a section.
- i've gotten by so far with only reading it once regarding FSTAB files. i
- wrote on my os/2 registration card that i wanted someone to send me manuals
- for tcp/ip 1.2.1 and in two weeks i received a call telling me how to
- send in my 1.2 license for a full 1.2.1 upgrade.
-
- i didnt realize people actually read registration cards. score one for
- the new ibm.
