Ed, I agree, the SSI manual is (almost) useless. I was in the process of writing a NOTIFY like process at my third employer before it was brought to my attention that the SSI was now documented, I think I wrote the first one in 1990 or something like it.

In fact, I now see lots of ordinary, every-day SSI calls aren't in "Using the SSI". That's ridiculous. Perhaps the authors of the book weren't particularly proud of the interfaces they neglected to mention. (A lot of it is pretty "gross".) Or maybe they only had so much time & money to devote. Or maybe they were just lazy. In the old days, there was no book. The SSI documentation was the JES source code.
