Here's something to consider. The DEC Ultrix-32 manuals are
copyrighted and cost $730 per set. If you have 32 users and want to
just buy one set and make copies for people, you must buy a "right to
copy" license at $182 per copy.

Call DEC Direct and ask. 800 343 4040. The part number is QLZEK-GZ.

DEC finally got it right!
