NeXT received its copies of the technical documentation ($95 a set) about 
a week or two ago.  IThey said, however, when I called the 800848NeXT number,
that it would take about three months for all the currently backordered 
sets of manuals to reach the people who bought them.  This includes the 
"Concepts" manuals that are missing from the on-line distribution.
