 There's a 1300 page A4 sized reference book on my shelf that was
prepared on an 80286 based XENIX machine[1] using sqtroff, shell scripts and
vi. While this was being done that machine was also being used to maintain
a database with two people doing data entry and another running regular
queries and reports.

[1] Not a PC clone - an Altos with a couple of 80186s acting like channle
controllers on a mainframe.
