I understand that the VMS V5 documentation set has the following
set of statistics:

	- weighs in at a modest 180 lbs.
	- has over 20,000 pages of documentation
	- comes in 34 (or so) binders
	- arrives in 10 boxes (probably on a single pallet!)

Alternatively, the entire thing (all 20,000+ pages) is supposed to be
available on a single CD-ROM disc.

By the way: I understand that 6.6 million (yes 6.6x10**6) pounds of
paper are required to print the doc sets to be distributed.  Yeesh.
I wonder that county got denuded this time.
