What's the best way to get the documentation to NetBSD 1.2?
Specifically:

1. How close is the BSD documentation, (the one printed by
O'Reilly and associates - I think it's BSD 4.4, $30 each for 5 vols)
to NetBSD? Are there significant differences?

2. The documentation on my installation (and it seems, for source)
are all in FORMATTED format (xxx.0, etc); I'd like the unformatted
nroff source (xxx.1, etc) so I can reformat with groff for postscript
printing - where is the unformatted source?

thanks,
