45.0. "Send me your URLs..." by LANDO::BELMAN () Thu Sep 26 1996 14:42

    I have found the UNIX documentation set on the Web, and
    was wondering if other groups have their technical manuals
    on the web, and if so, where?
    
    Can you post replies with URLs here?
    
    Thanks,

    Carolyn -
    
    I don't know about other groups, but other _institutions_ have. HTBOOK
    is a freeware utility that is widely used in the academic community to
    convert Bookreader libraries to HTML; anything a university thinks
    should be generally accessible to their students gets converted
    straight from the ConOLD to the Web.
    
    To find this stuff, do an AltaVista search on HTBOOK and follow your
    nose. Places I've found have had the bookshelf on the Web but the books
    protected by some sort of access control - http://acs.tamu.edu/book is
    an example - but the access control may screen out me and not you. Try
    it and see. With the rate new sites pop up on the Web, it's worth doing
    a new AltaVista search from time to time.
    
    Incidentally, I've been on my soap-box for years saying we should stop
    wasting plastic and start recycling bits (i.e. put our docs on the Web
    and charge for it). Now people are doing it anyway willy-nilly, and our
    intellectual property is going West. See no. 394.9 in the CDROM
    conference for my latest flame on the subject!

    Had the same luck you had at tamu, but found stuff at
    
        http:/www.e.kth.se/book
    
    Don't copyright laws apply?  Interesting...
    
    Thanks for the tip.
