You are not likely to find the HP-UX 9.0 documentation on the http://docs.hp.com The earliest you will find is HP-UX 10.20. HP-UX 9.X has been obsolete for a long time.

You'll be extremely lucky to find any HPUX 9 documentation on-line. HPUX 9 has not been supported for some time and is not Year 2000 compliant. Someone may have some manuals stored away somwhere, is there is a specific question you have ?

[Trond Haugen]

The server version 9.04 was obsoleted 12/31/98. If you have specific 9.x problems you should post the question. If you were looking for HP-UX manuals I would recommend the 10.20 set. If you still want the 9.x manuals I'm afraid that's as close as you get.
Back in 9.x there was more of a difference between the server and workstation versions of HP-UX. So state the exact version and platform if you have questions.

Real manuals or their electronic counterparts (LaserROM and its replacement (forgot the name, Instant ?)) are best, but if you are only interested in the commands, then you could list the /usr/man/man* directories, especially the man1, man1.Z, man1m and man 1m.Z ones. Then you know the names of the commands (leave off the dot and everything after it) and then can do a "man ".

An alternative is to browse the "whatis" file. See "man catman" where that file is on 9.X, and how to create it. You can then do "strings whatis >/tmp/file" and then view /tmp/file for the 'one-line descriptions'. For example it will say:

lpadmin(1M) - configure the LP spooling system

Also remember the "-k" and "-f" options for the "man" command, i.e. for example "man -k DOS" lists the DOS utilities, "man -k term" gives tons of terminal related stuff, etc..

The CDs Frank is refering to are called "instant information".
They come with a reader for HP-UX and windows.
