So, did you buy the "Utilities" set?
The manuals you list are for the operating system, and the operating
system only. The utilities include your (real) vi, cc, and all the
other tools that make life worth living beyond the realm of a user.
If you bought that, you'll also receive:
1. Programmers Guide
2. User's Manual I and II
3. Virtual Device Interface
and 4. Utilities (all the disks)
Since you didn't mention #4, my guess is that you didn't purchase the
set, and therefore you don't have any of the manuals. If you did
purchase it, perhaps it's one of those cases where your vendor
installed the software for you. In that case, they didn't send along
the manuals, and you should contact them.
If it was purchased used, well, caveat emptor and try your best.
(Of course, if you have it, and didn't pay for it, well, such is
life... :-)
