- Correct, I would rather have online manpages also, however I was just
- stating the fact that these machines didn't have them at the time because
- space limitations and there applications where it wasn't needed. Beside
- the book manuals are in different format and give lots more information
- then online manpages. On SUNOS the online manpages are in a synoptical
- format. However my SUNOS book manuals have both an image of the online
- manpages and a more detailed area of study. The unixpc manuals inform
- with the more detail of what you need then online manuals usually give.
- That why I say they are well worth getting. Since the unixpc's limitations
- are pretty much documented there. Bugs, limitations and features are
- explained. Unlike the simplified online formats I've seen including SUNOS.
- That why they have books...
