There was a lot of improvements in V5R1, other than just to support the
new hardware.  I don't have time to post the section 'How this manual has
changed' on all the V5R1 manuals.

And are you saying that all music CD's should cost only 20 cents also? And
that Bob Cozzi is ripping you off when he charges more for a book than the
cost of printing?

Nobody asked for V5R1. V5R1 has new functions that supports
the new hardware and is thus a "new hardware support cost". A copy
of V5R1 to install on old hardware costs only the 20 cents for the
CD.
