The manuals supplied in the
documentation set complementing the
quarterly Sofware Product Library (sometimes referred to as the ConDist
- Consolidated Distribution) relate to the products within that
particular distribution. Version numbers change, but more importantly so
do the products - some are retired whilst others are introduced. For
example the December 1995 SPL is the last distribution I have that
bundled DEC rdb - the manuals for this are contained on the
documentation set (which traditionally is in bookreader format, except
for the SPD - Software Product Description and installation notes which
are provided with the products themselves in PS/TXT format). The May
1996 distribution contains neither software or documentation.
I think as a general rule of thumb the documentation supplied on the HP
website relates to the latest supported products on VAX, Alpha and IA64
platforms.
I may/may not complete a database of packages contained in the
distributions I have - I'm currently working towards that goal but
whether it becomes a usable application available over the internet is
yet to be seen...

I suppose that Manx is a list like that, but I
don't know how that list
was made or if it is complete.
It almost certainly is not complete, even for DEC
material which has
always been manx's strength.
Currently I have been running a beta to allow other editors to make
contributions and that basic UI stuff has been vetted. I need to add
some audit trail type mechanisms so that the changes can be tracked
instead of just overwriting existing data.
