Hmmm... would an unweasel alternative provide an edition of the
P{or}Op[s] customized for each possible model and feature set?
But I suppose a spreadsheet would be useful for this purpose.
An even greater luxury would be an electronic P{or}Op[s] in which
the viewer could select on the title page model, feature set, and
OPTABLE in any combination and view an instance so customized.
IBM is allowed to choose the tradeoff between its resources and
the customers' resources.
