[comp.sys.sgi] An apropos that works.

Troy Norcross, the SGI SE from Indianapolis, sent me a tape with an apropos
that really works, unlike the one on the net recently.  It is from SGI from
Benoit Marchand, Silicon Graphics (Montreal).  I put it in the pub 
directory on vgr.brl.mil (192.5.23.6) in compressed tar format.  It has an
apropos list for standard software, NFS, Fortran, DWB and LPS for release
3.2 of IRIX.  Creating the list takes about half an hour since it has to
pcat every man page in the system.  If you have local man pages you
should be able to figure out how to add just these without rebuilding
everything again.  One word of caution, the program only looks for files
that end in .z (pack format) so make sure your local man pages are packed and
have a .z.  Hope this is useful until the real thing arrives.
