Well that makes two of us that still use the Dynatext manuals. I have my
setup the same way with the 3000 and 9000 manuals loaded on my laptop (for
use offline) then I keep the cd's in a cd tower for network access for all
to use. It really does not take up that much space on the disks and as Gary
stated you can mix both in one massive collection.

If I had my choice I would rather have the paper manuals.....

Just out of curiousity, am I the only one who uses the Dynatext manuals?

I don't need to be connected to the internet, and by copying the CD to my
PC, I've eliminated the CD as well (plus I can mix HPUX and MPE all in one
massive collection).  Of course, this costs in disk space but space is cheap
these days.

        Yes, HP, the HTML manuals ROCK!  (Why bother with the PDFs?)  May
the MPE/iX
        Intrinsics Reference Manual (32650-90821) be next?
