As it turns out, lots of people have indeed heard tell of it.  Thanks to
all those who replied, and especially those who's replies have either
been un-written, or lost in transit.  I will write the un-written ones,
but I do give up easily on failed mail :-).

They did, and so did I!  The offending group was Interactive Systems,
via our local friends at HCR.  According to other documentation, it
seems that the source form of supplied fonts should also be available,
which it wasn't, as was the sometimes commented terminfo sources.

Just as a note, DWB 2.0 is yet-another product sold by ISC without
manuals.  At least formatted versions of the relevant man pages were on
the disks.

Everyone is on hold for the duplication of the diskettes for the new
version, which may hopefully contain the missing makedev and friends.
