So true! By the way, the 4.3 manuals have been completely re-typeset
and look terrific -- in addition, they have been re-arranged, along the
lines of the 4.2 USENIX versions (although there are now 6 volumes
instead of the 5) ... no word yet about the availabilty of 4.3 manuals
from USENIX in the small format ...
