About this Directory

     This directory contains faxes that are sent out by AIX support
     to customers.  THE SUBDIRECTORIES of this directory generally
     DO NOT contain faxes.

     These faxes go through an approval process that requires two
     approvals besides the author and a management review.

     Even so, the faxes are not perfect.  We value your input.
     Please send feedback to one of the following:

     Faxes are divided into component groups.  The last three 
     characters of the file name specify the group.

 Classification of Faxes

     All faxes are intended to be read by customers.  However, some
     are part of a "Registered" set of documents while others are
     part of a "Public" set of documents.  Analysts can give any
     faxes to customers on an as needed basis.  However, no one
     should copy the whole database for customers.  Customers can 
     access the "Public" set of documents in the external locations 
     listed in

        cia:/u/hsim/other/fax.data/fax.locations
        AFS:/afs/austin/depts/aixserv/faxes/fax.data/fax.locations
 
 Other Locations of These Faxes
