I called (well, I had a secretary call -- I'm lazy) AT&T UNIX Europe, the
local outlet for AT&T documentation, and they said, after querying the US,
that the AOE Overview set is obsolete and no longer obtainable.  I'm
puzzled, considering that the recent postings are the first I've heard of
the AOE.  Can anybody throw any light, please?  Was the AOE a fancy
marketing idea which has by now gone the way of most fancy marketing ideas?
Has it been superseded by something else?  What's the scam?  Help!
