Yes, that's in mine too. I just thought the "slim book" had slightly more in it, but perhaps that's because it has smaller pages, and therefore the artice is spread over more of them. I think our library has a copy of the BSTJ, so I can check. Someone emailed me off-list with a URL for an HTML-ised version; thanks, but I have a real 7th Edition Manual with that paper, as well as the troff source on my (original) 7th Edition distro. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
