????  Traditional ???? What are you talking about?  Tried grepping at
a stack of paper lately?  *REAL* Unix comes with a two page note
explaining how to boot from the distribution tape.  The manuals live
in /usr/man/ and you print them yourself.  That's the way 4.2bsd was
done, and that's the way it should be.  Paper manuals are an AT&T-ism
- "At Extra Cost".  Damn right.  Obviously the first thing to do is to
get a good OCR scanner and read the things in.  Paper manuals, oh how
wonderful.  Next thing will be paper email...
