If you've ever wanted to find something in the manuals, but never had much luck ... you might want to try out a package that I've been using for a while. gman is a manual browser that uses inverted keyword indexes to assist in searching and browsing. The software is available *only* by anonymous FTP to host sgi.com (at least for now). Use user name "anonymous" and your E-mail address as the password. Then, type binary cd pub get gman.tar.Z quit Once you've got the package on your machine, use uncompress and tar to extract the information. For example, cd /usr/tmp mkdir gman cd gman ftp -n sgi.com ... do above stuff to retrieve gman.tar.z.... zcat gman.tar.Z | tar xovf - Then look at the file README. Note that this is a binary-only distribution right now. It should work on any 4D machine running 3.3. As always, this software is provided "as is" with no warranties of any kind ... blah blah blah blah. Feel free to send bugs, questions, etc. directly to me. Sam
