I wonder what's the deal with <subject>. There has been a question in Usenet, and even somebody who would like to contribute texts for it. So well, i went out to see how the original learn(1) looked like, and our old AIX 3.2.5 actually still had it. Much to my surprise, the data files are: # # COMPONENT_NAME: (CMDMAN) commands that allow users to read online # documentation # # FUNCTIONS: # # ORIGINS: 27 # # Copyright (c) 1980 Regents of the University of California. # All rights reserved. The Berkeley software License Agreement # specifies the terms and conditions for redistribution. # #next 0.01a 10 So now i wonder whether we would legally be allowed to use these files directly? I can't find any traces on FTP servers, the closest was a tree of 4.3-Reno somewhere in .uk land but with empty directories for learn. Does anybody know whom to approach to inquire about the actual status? I think learn(1) has never been part of any AT&T Unix, so they should not claim any rights on it either. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
