Man pages for '386 UNIX

[Dimitri Rotow]

As promised, here are the results of the great man pages poll.

Of the 86 email responses received, only 2 were uninterested in
online man pages.  Over 95% of the remainder wanted man pages
and were willing to pay for them.  The great majority felt that
$50 to $100 was a fair range, with about 20% believing that a
$100 to $120 was ok as well.

We will consider a program to test an actual willingness to buy
man pages for 3.2 as an optional product.  In the next two or 
three months, we hope to test mail a program against our actual
3.2 / 3.0 customer base to check response.  If a non self-selecting
sample appears willing to pop for man pages we'll see what we can
do to provide such a product.   Note that AT&T has not yet released
MRD for 3.2, and may not do so for some time.

NOTE:  this is *not* a product announcement!

Thanks to all who replied.
