Rats, you're right. Actually when I first saw these files I thought
it was too good to be true :-) It used to be that just to order the
usenix reprints of these manuals you had to have a source licence.
Anyway I have checked and the follwing chapters of the smm were
included on the BSD NET2 tape (I have here the original contents page
of the smm with all the chapter titles- lines staring with INCLUDED
are the only chapters in the NET2 tape).
