It doesn't have the usual IBM manual number but the back cover says additional copies are available by calling 1-800-722-4880 (or by fax to (407) 265-0344). While this pub. is of course heavy on the marketing hype, it does go into a pretty good overview of AIX features, the positioning of the entire product line, and the history (which was kinda neat because it freely mentioned a lot of IBM competitors). --------------------------------------------- Dennis Moynihan (DMOYNIHA@WAYNEST1.BITNET) Computing and Information Technology Wayne State University Detroit, MI
