I think so, but then, being a technical writer, I'm sure I'm prejudiced.  The
Utilities manual alone has 60 more pages, including all of the information
about MacroMaker. 

I don't have the System 5.0 User's Guide at work (only the Mac II book that
comes with the machine), so I can't make this kind of comparison, but I'm
thinking of buying a System 6.0 set for use at home, if I can get the system
to work on my upgraded 512.
