I have the possibility of getting A/UX 1.0 (perhaps with an
upgrade to 1.1.1) and never moving on in terms of versions.
All I really want to do is run gnu emacs and uucp (for mail
and news).  Is 1.0 solid enough for this?  (This only has
to hold me for a few months, not forever.)

Another question: can an expert 4.3BSD Unix systems hacker get
by without the manuals?  (They cost $500.)  Are there man pages
on-line?

Any advice appreciated.  (Direct mail to me, please.  I'll
summarize if there seems to be any generally useful outcome.)

Cheers.
