Date: Sun 25-Sep-1989 03:28:00 From: Unknown Subject: Sybase documentation problems We want to learn how to use Sybase. Not being inclined to spend the $400 to get printed documentation from Sybase, we're trying to read it on line. However, there are some problems. (BTW, I know nothing about the roff universe, so I could just be wrong.) - /NextLibrary/Documentation/Sybase/SAG/sag2 has some confused formatting. It's still readable. - /NextLibrary/Documentation/Sybase/SAG/sag3 is mostly unreadable using nroff or ptroff. I think it's missing its figures. They're may be other documentation problems, but we've kind of ground to a halt here. We'd appreciate suggestions for getting this stuff formatted. Thanks, Roger Rosner Lighthouse Design, Ltd. P.S. Quick calculations seem to indicate using the NeXT printer costs about 5 cents/page. So we figure printing the ~1000 pages of Sybase documentation costs about $50, a far cry from the $400 Sybase wants. Does 5 cents/page sound reasonable? >From: dcarpent@sjuvax.UUCP (D. Carpenter)
