Dr. Tom Blinn, <tpb_at_ZK3.DEC.COM>, responded:

|>Hi, Randy. I've cc-d the AdvFS product manager on this reply. I have, in
|>the past, wondered the same question, and I've tried to find the manual on
|>the on-line media. I also have a complete set of printed documentation (at
|>least the parts that are in the base operating system doc set). I haven't
|>been able to find the manual.
|>
|>In the AdvFS SPD (as of V3.2) there is a line for hardcopy documentation:
|>
|> Software Documentation (hardcopy): QA-0EGAA-GZ
|>
|>I suppose it is remotely possible that if you order that part number, you
|>get the manual (and maybe some other manuals as well). I don't know why we
|>would not ship the manual on-line with the other documentation.

|>Gretchen, do you know whether the manual in question is the deliverable for
|>part number QA-0EGAA-GZ, and whether it's supposed to be on-line? Also, it
|>would make sense to move that manual into the base OS documentation set, in
|>the system management subset, and not have a separate part number, if in
|>fact that's what we've got today.
