The cause of the accident was, at least in a very great part,
attributable to the failure of the company to keep manuals up to date
with updates that were produced in the manner that you are suggesting.

The cost of reprinting and re-issuing complete manuals would have been an
infinitesimal fraction of the $1,300,000,000.00 that is reported to have
been the Commercial/Industry Cost of the accident.

So for decades IBM manuals were in danger of causing a catastrophe? Sounds
like BS to me. Where in the page does this claim appear?
