Everyone in the building I work in is busy packing their offices to move to a new building this week, and as some of them have been here 15 years, there's a lot of old stuff going into recycling piles as not worth the effort of moving.
This includes more copies than I imagined of most of the old O'Reilly X manuals - X protocol reference, Xlib reference, Xt toolkit, even the Xview & Motif manuals. These are mostly the X11R3/R4 versions of the manuals, so would be somewhat out of date for Xlib (missing threads, i18n, xkb, etc.), a little out of date for Xt (no idea what changed after R4, little has changed since R6) & Motif (none of the OpenMotif extensions), and probably completely up to date for Xview (if anyone still cares about that). There's also a couple of copies of the Digital Press books (Schiefler & Gettys) which were mostly just the official specs nicely formatted & indexed (O'Reilly on the other hand expanded the text in theirs), as well as X books from a couple other authors. There are later copies of several of these freely available online [1], but these trees are already dead if you need a dead tree version. Is there anyone out there that has a use for these ancient scrolls? I can save them from the recycling bin if so...
