Why is it strange that so much printed documentation was released with VMS? To me, the real strangeness is in learning all the proprietary APIs documented in all of those printed manuals. :) Thank goodness HP made all the documentation available in PDF form and often HTML as well for free in the early 2000's. The current VSI docs site is even better, with better HTML rendering of the original documents.
