I have some Sun docs and software for sale. Nearly all this material is new, 
in factory plastic. 

Sun System Software Answerbook CD-ROM, Release 1 issue 1:

	Essentially 4.1.1 docs on a CD. Requires 4,50,or 240 megs of disk 
	space, runs only on a Sun 4 or 4c. Factory sealed with single-user 
	RTU document. Sun asks $495 for this disk, $396 for a 4.1.2 or 4.1.3 
	disk, or $256 for an upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 or 4.1.3

		$200

4.1.x docs: 

	~85 pounds of mans in SUN binders in 5-6 boxes:
		4.1 OS REF MNLS
		4.1 OS PROG GDS
		4.1 SYS ADM/USER
		OPENWINDOWS 2.0 END USER
		OPENWINDOWS 3.0 END USER (with 4.1.2 set)
		4.1.1 or 4.1.2 REL BOX

	The release box contains change pages and the installation guide. 
	This is how Sun supplies 4.1.x docs. Sun wants $1000 for a set of 
	4.1.1 docs, $800 for a set of 4.1.2 or 4.1.3. They ask $120 for a 
	4.1.2 or 4.1.3 release box. I am asking:

		$350 for 4.1.2 set (only 1 left)
		$300 4.1.1 set

		Brand new.

	Shipping these runs just over $50 coast-to-coast UPS ground.

	I have some extra 4.1.1 release boxes, $100 each, and some OW 3.0 
	END USER boxes, $30 each.

	Buy a 4.1.1 set from me and a 4.1.2 or 4.1.3 release box from Sun 
	and you're still saving quite a bit.

Note:

	People often ask about the differences between the 4.1.x release 
	boxes. They are significant, especially in the installation 
	procedures. I recommend getting a release box for each architecture 
	at your site as a working minimum.

4.0.3 docs:

	~75 pounds of manuals in 1+(2*2) boxes. NO BINDERS
	You're stuck at 4.0.3 if you have a Sun 2 or early 4e.
	I'm not sure how much Sun asks for these. An arm and a leg I'll bet.

		$125

3.5 docs:

	~67 pounds of manuals in one box, NO BINDERS
	3.5 is a good choice for systems with limited memory.

		$75 (~$26 coast-to-coast UPS)

SCLISP 4.0 MAN
	
	~25 lbs., 12 sections arranged in 4 1.5" binders and 
	a packet of spiral and pamphlets, and "Common LISP: The 
	Language" by Steele.

		$40

OWN V2 SUPP MNLS

	16 pounds. 8 commercially bound books: Vols. 0,1,2 and 7 of O'Reilly & 
	Associates' "Definitive Guides to the X Win. Sys." series, "OPEN 
	LOOK GUI Functional Spec" and "OL GUI App. Styleguide" by Sun Micro
	under Addison Wesley, "POSTSCRIPT Language Reference Manual" and 
	"PL Tutorial Cookbook" by Adobe under AW. $220 retail.

		$75

OWN V2 PROG MNLS

	~20 lbs. 8 sections in 3 binders and 2 spiral bounds. 

		$75

GDE 1.1

	OpenWindows Developer's Guide Version 1.1. For OW ver 2.0.
	Some manuals and software on 60M tape, runs on any Sun running 
	OW 2.0. Sun asks $250, $750 for latest version, or $476 for 
	upgrade from 1.1 to latest. Factory sealed box with RTU.
	
		$75

I'll sell the above three as a set for $200 "while supplies last."

OWN V3 SUPP MNLS(?)

	11 manuals as per V2 SUPP above but with 2nd edition of 
	POSTSCRIPT Ref (2X as thick), Vol 5 and Supp. to Vol 7 of XWS 
	series, and "X Window Sys. Prog'g & App's with Xt" by Young and 
	Pew. ~$300 retail. 

		$150

OWN V3 PROG MNLS

	The programmer's manuals for OWN V3. Softcover bound.

		$150

PC-NFS 3.5

	Allows IBM PC style computers to mount disk volumes exported 
	via NFS over the Ethernet or SLIP. You will need a package for 
	each PC on the network. Contact me for a more detailed description.
	Sun asks ~$400 for version 4.0 or $99 for an upgrade including new
	disks and manuals. Supplied with original unused disks and manuals, 
	carries "like a book" licensing.

		$150

C++ 2.0 TP&DOC

	Sun's C++ verison 2.0. For Sun 3's running 4.0.x or 4.1.x. 
	Manuals, software, RTU in factory sealed box.

FOR 1.4 CD ASSY

	Sun's FORTRAN, version 1.4. For Sun 4's running 4.1 or 4.1.1, 
	likely 4.1.x. Manuals, software, and RTU. The box is open but 
	the software sealed. 

		$150 

SPARCstation Manual Sets

	For SS1,SS1+,IPC,SS2,IPX,ELC. In general includes Installation Guide, 
	Sun System User's Guide, Sun System and Network Manager's Guide. 
	No substitute for the OS ref mnls, it's hard to say just who these 
	are geared to. I guess to anyone with a SPARCstation. Some of the 
	machine-specific manuals are scattered around the place so contact 
	me for availability, serious only please. ~5 pounds. These do not 
	include schematics.

		$40

Terms etc:

	Prices are in US dollars and do not include shipping.
	Due to the weight and over-all hassle of shipping these I am 
	asking for pre-payment by check or bank wire. E-mail me with your 
	adress and I'll estimate shipping.

	Shipping these to other countries is practical to varying degrees.
	I've shipped a set to Germany and one to Taiwan thus far. Contact me 
	and I'll look into options, serious inquiries only please.

	All Sun prices quoted for the material above and upgrades are to 
	the best of my ability given the notes I made during several 30 
	second phone calls to the SunExpress Hotline at 1-800-872-4786. 
	You should call them to confirm the prices and/or feasibility of any 
	upgrade you are considering pursuing. I explicitly disclaim any 
	responsibilty for the feasibility of any upgrade, which I guess 
	is to say all software is for sale "as is". The only exception 
	is for PC-NFS, which situation I am confident I understand fully.

	I`ll file offers and consider them, say if there is no other 
	interest in an item.	

	I don't have any schematics for sun hardware and cannot sell OS 
	tapes. 

	Please respond to me as cornhead@netcom.com (as in the header) if 
	you are interested. Thank you.
