As you've noticed, the page numbering on the updates does not
match the published book exactly.  There are a number of reasons
for that, and we haven't figured out a good way to resolve them all
yet.  We didn't want that to hold us up from making the information
available to you.

The *.psbin files on ibmstandards are not exactly the same as those
handed out at the AIW.  We have made a few additional minor changes.

We are also not in a position to make the entire reference manual
available on the FTP server.  We use the IBM publications system
to make books available.  We use the same system to get books internally.
We understand that sometimes updates are needed more frequently
than can be handled through this system.  That's why we're making
these changes available on FTP.

I understand that our processes are not ideal, and we are interested
in improving them.  We'll see what we can do to make the architecture
distribution work better for all of us.  Thanks for your suggestions,
and if you have any others, please let us know.
