Message-ID: <1989Sep29.021430.12569@dragos.uucp> Date: 29 Sep 89 02:14:30 GMT Reply-To: ruiu@dragos.UUCP (dragos) Organization: Orbital Mind Control Lasers, Inc. Lines: 32 My roommate is very seriously considering getting A/UX for his shiny new (and just fixed after being DOA) IIcx. The Canadian prices for it are $500 for media and $700 for printed docs. The only vendors of it around here is the university bookstore, whose sales staff errr... leave a lot to be desired. (Kind of like trying to get help from a rock.) The $700 for docs sounds out of line initially, but considering the price of Sun docs, maybe not. I have access to and possess a lot of documentation for several variants of unix myself. My roommate is trying to finance this on a student's budget, and would like to know if the documentation is strictly necessary. So if I could ask some kind netter to substitute for the poor local sales staff, I'd like to ask a few questions: Do you get on-line manual pages ? Do you get sources to any docs ? (I know wishful thinking.) Is the majority of the documentation necessary to run the system or are only small parts Apple specific ? Just what do you get for $700 ? Thanks Kindly in Advance. -- Dragos Ruiu | Programming Languages: alberta!dragos!ruiu | uunet!myrias!dr | find / -name \*\[fF\]77\* -exec rm -rf {} \; bbs: (403) 439-0229 |
