That's right, at least until the next version or major release comes 
along.  We are only allotted documentation support at those times, and 
currently there is a process in place to take all the accumulated changes 
in the Release Notes and DOC APARs and roll them into the next iteration 
of the product documentation (which includes man pages, pdf files, and 
on-line help html files), but in-between major releases, the only place we 
can put documentation changes is in the Release Notes.  So those who do 
not read them carefully, are doomed to miss something important 
eventually.  As Walter Cronkite used to say, "And that's the way it is . . 
."

Yeah, it's true. 

I've been rather floored with how detailed the NetView release notes
are.  Often it's the only place things are documented.   I've got a
rather large binder of them--and that's only the 7.x release notes!
For UNIX!
