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.

for all UNIX (V6, V7, PWB, 4.1BSD) manuals.

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.

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.
