SGI "retired" their excellent TechPubs system not very long ago when they outsourced customer support, thereby removing all the docs and patches that still covered many of the MIPS-based products of the original company. There are a couple mirrors around in various states of functionality, the one I've been referring folks to is at http://techpubs.jurassic.nl, with thanks to Jan-Jaap. In HP(e)'s defense, they have so far kept an awful lot of DEC and Compaq material online. Perhaps that's by accident as much as intent, but I'm not complaining either way... For instance, I was just perusing (and saving) the DEC Tech Journal from 1991 - 1998, which is archived under the HP Journal (http://www.hpl.hp.com/hpjournal/journal.html) and alongside the Tandem Systems Review. --S.
