I don't think this is likely, though. Nope. The CC library will sell to anyone with cash or a CC accounting number (yes, Brent, you could charge manuals to your violet account :-). >C) When I got my 4.2 set from the CS Library, I couldn't get the system > administrator's manual.

They didn't think that many people would want them (which is probably correct - anywhere but at a large university) and ordered hundred+ of the basic four, and 22 (count'em, twenty two) of the administrators manuals. The CC staff immediately got those.
