It wouldn't be hard to sell man-page books if they were sold with
"Installing and Running" and the CD as a set.  I don't know how that works
as far as publi$hing goes, though.  Does that double production costs?  If
the extra jacket increases the price of the set more than 10%, then I'm
with Mr. Walton - only the most crucial.
