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.
