Aucbvax.5585 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Sun Dec 27 04:28:08 1981 Unix documentation summary >From Lepreau@UTAH-20 Sun Dec 27 04:15:27 1981 Harvard Science Center is all I came up with as a public source of Unix docs. Thanks to Steve Dyer & Wally Wedel for the original reference. It seems that the prices are ok for small quantities, but not so good for larger quantities. ---------- From: Steve Dyer <SDYER AT BBN-UNIX>

Harvard Science Center is a local distribution center for all UNIX (V6, V7, PWB, 4.1BSD) manuals.

--------- From: Randy Frank <FRANK AT UTAH-20>

Harvard's prices for 4.1 manuals would require us to print 50 copies to equal the price; therefore, it sounds like a good idea.

they split vol. 1 up into 2 volumes, 1A which is chapters 1,6,7, and 1B which is the rest. 1A costs $10, and 1B costs $8.

----------- From: Robert A. Morris <RAM MIT-MC AT>

I find the harvard prices an outrage at ~.04/page independent of quantity. And the reproduction quality of the current stock is mediocre.

Local copy shops will do 100 copies closer to .02/page.
