  2. The NeXTstepAdvantage directory contains the complete contents of The
  3. NeXTstep Advantage: Application Development with NeXTstep.  This manual was
  4. initally written as a sales tool that could be read by programmers,
  5. developers, and other technical people interested in evaluating NeXTstep as
  6. a potential development environment.  Because the demand for this manual
  7. has been larger than expected, NeXT Computer, Inc. has decided to make it
  8. available on the Internet archive servers.  You have the right to copy and
  9. distribute these files and their hardcopy equivalent, but not the right to
