If it is, how do we go about getting these things? This is "normal", the &*&%&^$^&%'s at AT&T having decided to do things this way. I seem to recall hearing that AT&T had gotten enough flak over this silly policy that they were planning to make the machine-readable documents available (separately, at extra cost, of course!), but I don't recall hearing an official announcement of this. If you're source-licensed, you could get the older versions from a site with an older version of Unix (since a SysV source licence is supposed to cover all older Bell versions). -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
