To search, enter a word or words from the title of the manual you're looking for, or some letters or digits from the part number. Each word you search for must contain at least three letters (or you'd get loads of false hits from part numbers). When you're searching for part numbers, don't worry about the difference between '0' and 'O'; DEC frequently confused the two in part numbers, so they're treated the same when searching.
The search results consist of pages showing ten manuals at a time. The results show the manual's part number, date of publication, title and status, which is either blank or some combination of "Online" and "Superseded". Superseded means that a manual has either been revised since this edition or it has been replaced completely. Superseded manuals might still be online, so this catalogue still links to them. The manual that superseded this one will normally be found in the same search results.
The title of each manual is a link to more information about it. If the status is "Online", clicking the link will show you all the copies available. There may also be a Table of Contents, information about which manual(s) this one replaced, or whether this manual has been superseded.
Although Manx was originally intended to be a catalogue of manuals that were already online, it quickly became apparent that it would also be useful to record manuals that were known to have been published, but were not yet online. Manx records manuals that are cited by other manuals or catalogues.
If a manual isn't listed as being online, please do not email me, asking for a copy. It is very unlikely that I know where to find one. If I knew, Manx would already have given you a link! However, knowing the title at least allows you to ask if anyone else has a copy, on appropriate newsgroups or mailing lists.
