That's odd. On our system (5.5 on 320) if there is a discrepancy, the online man pages have the most complete accurate info for the machine it is on. My experience has been that the pre-printed man pages are generic - the same for 200s, 300s, 500s, and 800s - but the online stuff only has what is applicable to that series. For maintaining two sets of manuals the information is most consistent. I'm suprised there aren't more discrepencies! Quite annoying. barb dyker CSNET: dyker@boulder.Colorado.EDU UUNET: ...rutgers!ncar!dinl!tosgcla!dyker
