could do all the other stuff on Bitsavers (e.g. PDP-10, -11 software, all the
VAX stuff - and that's just DEC).
Well the SQL for original manx database (as maintained by Paul) is (or
was available) and something is available in the codeplex download that
*might* be the current (or near-current) manx database.
You could turn that into links but you'd just have
manx-as-a-set-of-wiki-pages.
I guess the data would be useful for programmatically checking whether a
given manual is known to manx. At that point though I think the best
thing to do would be to get the data into manx. Manx feels like the
right tool for finding manuals.
