I got news for somebody...
Our SV manuals come in N parts.  Not just 3.  I've screamed & b****ed bout
this many times.  Agreed they come loose leaf but I'm a consultant brought
in after the fact & if I re-arranged manuals somebody else would scream.

Every time I think I know where they all are I find there are really N + 1
parts.  Thus far I've found:

Core Pack
Software Generation Software
Extended Utilities
Basic Networking
Extended Software Generation
Printer Spooling

This is for a 3b2/300 & there is also information in tutorial style doc
that isn't covered in the man pages.

BTW, *I*S* there a man page for cc, at, or sdb?
