Mark, There really are some too-long lines in the docs. I'm using an 80 column
printer in pica. If you are too then something is really strange.
Regarding the numbers at the top of the pages, I should have figured out the
Unix connection myself. After all (I'm learning bit by bit) if there is
something cryptic relating to OS9 then is usually a Unix influence. Just what
was the mother-tongue of the folks who created Unix anyway???
Oh, and thanks for the reminder about the index--I guess I can just print out
the man.hlp file and stick it in the back of my new manual. Should work fine.
I'll leave defdrive() for now--I'm not sure why anyone would ever use that
command anyway? Guess it is a hold-over from before /dd conventions?
Oh, I just noticed that the description for RAND() is still wrong. Unless I am
missing something in the way the function works it does not use a scale factor.
It would be nice if it did! Could this be a difference between clib.l and
clibt.l?
