According to (800) 828-UNIX, they are no longer distributing the
documents.  The person I spoke to said that they 'had kept a copy for
archival purposes' and totally eliminated distribution as of about 6
months ago.  The person said this was due to the document being
'outdated' (since it deals with version 6 code).

Oh well.
Ron.
