Zak,

  The handbook is actually written in Rochester by Susan Powers and her
team and in some ways it IS a composition of previous books as it does
contain the 'speeds and feeds' of previous systems in the latter chapters.
To keep all the gory detail for all the systems would make the thing
prohibitivly large and difficult to use.  Consider if every feature ever
made was described in detail in there whether it was sold or even supported
any longer, that would make for an unusable volume.

  For those of us that use this book and it's counterpart the System
Builder every single day we only have one Christimas wish (are you
listening Rochester?):  Please cooperate with Susan and her team and get
them  every piece of information they need as soon and as accurate as
humanly possible so that we can have accurate and complete manuals as early
as possible in each release cycle.  Now is that too much to ask?

ps: I sent Zak a copy of the V4R5 manual off-list.

Speaking of not being able to find books, is there some reason the
InfoCenter can't compile all the System Handbooks into one complete volume?

I'm tring to find the handbook for the 170-2292 I just ordered (my new home
system!). That should be the v4r5 version of the book. All links I can find
to that actually point to the v5r2 book, proudly titled "Systemm Handbook."
Can anyone help me out with the real one?

Regards,
Z
