Every third party of significance will port to the RS/6000 regardless
of how IBM distributes documentation. IBM is, so put it mildly, a very
significant force in the industry. Would you skip an RS/6000 port and
risk missing the boat? After all, a paper doc set is only a few
hundred dollars, which is peanuts compared to a 530. Furthermore, if
you ask your SE very nicely, they may very well order you manuals for
free.
