Many compilers that didn't have manuals in soft copy when they first came out,
do have soft copies now, because someone went to the trouble of making soft
copies of the original hard-copy manual, usually decades later.

What does printing speed of PCs have to do with the availability of softcopies?
The hard copies that were the basis of the modern soft copies were, in general,
printed by big printing presses, not on PCs.

Which is why most of the scanning was done at a later time, when the scanning
was much cheaper.

Which is why any documents from that time period that are now available in PDF
format were not created in that format until long after the original hard
copies were printed out.

For something that no one was interested in, an awful lot of it actually got

You're the one who claims that there's not just one compiler, but many, which
performed argument conversions based upon K&R style function definitions, if
and only if those definitions preceded the definition of the calling function.
If you're right about that, you know what names those compilers had, and should
have some idea where to look in their documentation to find a description of
that feature. We could look at a thousand different compiler manuals, never
find anything which describes such a feature, report our inability to find it
to you, and all you would say is "you weren't looking at the right place". All
you have to do is look at one manual, find the relevant text, cite it for us,
and we would have no choice to concede your point, at least for that compiler
(assuming the relevant text means what you think it means - from past
experience with you, I think that it's quite plausible that you would
misinterpret the text, the same way you misinterpret so many other things).

The ball's inherently in your court now, because only you can prove your point
with a positive citation. We can't prove our point by presenting you with a
failure to locate such a citation. You don't have to do anything about it; but
if you make that choice, we're entitled to assume that didn't provide such
a citation for the simple reason that no such citation exists.

He doesn't realise than the "PC" many of us were using 30 years ago was 
a Sun workstation or a (micro)VAX.  Both of these were more than capable 
of doing more than one thing at a time and (at least with SunOS) had 
decent man pages.

Well I was and so were my colleagues, so I guess that's one version of 
"many" :)

30 years ago, I couldn't afford more then amstrad CPC ;)
I had practice on Burroughs and IBM, though...

30 years ago I had HiSoft C on my ZX Spectrum.  It didn't have an online
manual - but the printed documentation was thin enough to count as soft!

But 25 years ago I used C on SunOS systems.  The university had a higher
budget than I did as a teenager.

And 25 years ago Commodore released AmigaGuide, a hypertext file format
specially designed for documentation. So it doesn't meet the 30-years-old
requirement, but it's pretty close, and the Amiga itself (which I used in
those days) /is/ 30 years old, perfectly capable of multitasking, classifies
as a PC, and relatively inexpensive.

Which has nothing to do with what we are discussing.  And 25 years ago
OS/2 had already been out for several years.  It was multitasking and
even ran DOS and Windows 3.x programs.

But we know you're arguing just to argue.  It goes right along with your
third grade mentality and intelligence.

In 1991 OS v1.3 was released, and did not support Windows.  The first
32-bit version of OS/2, v2.0, which did include Windows support, was
released in 1992.

It was with Warp in 1994 that OS/2 really took off.  It needed more 
memory than was common on PC's at the time, but it was a great system - 
well beyond Windows.  And DOS programs typically ran a good deal faster 
under Warp than under native DOS!

Wrong again.  OS/2 1.1 had a DOS box which supported Windows 2.0 and
3.0.  Not very well, but you could run it just like almost any other DOS
program.  OS/2 2.0 had Windows program support built in.

While I agree that it's at least plausible that you could run Windows
2.0 in the DOS box of OS/2 1.x, I never saw anyone do it, and I'm
pretty sure no one would have meant that as a feature of OS/2,
especially given the very small usage* associated with Windows 2.  The
whole OS/2 being "a better DOS and DOS" and "a better Windows than
Windows" was very much a 2.0+ thing.


*except, perhaps, with "Windows 386", which still ran Win2.1 in a
single DOS machine, was actually a pretty good DOS multi-tasker -
although, of course, that did not run under OS/2, (only the real-mode
Windows 2.1 part)

Sure it could be done.  So your comment is more BS.  OS/2 2.0 is not
related to this discussion.

You might think "Windows 386" was a pretty good DOS multi-tasker.  I
guess for those only familiar with DOS it was.  To others, it was pretty
bad.  But once again that is not related to this discussion.

Doesn't it? Soft manuals and multitasking have nothing to do with what you 
are discussing? Oh, ofcourse, any argument that proves you wrong has nothing 
to do with what you are discussing. I get it.

Nope, a failed computer in a niche market isn't part of the topic.
There have been lots of them in the history of computers.

As usual, you narrow down the requirements AFTER you're proven wrong.

Nope, no narrowing down the requirements.  Just ignoring niche systems
that have failed.  They aren't worth talking about.

But trolls will try anything, just to argue.
