- | Statement: Dave is a God. Explanation: I posted this on Saturday, I believe,

- | weekends, and crunching news at that, is incredible.
- | Now that's service.

- | Correction: Most SGI-Netters certainly qualify for saint-hood if not
- | god-hood. I recieved several VERY USEFUL tidbits of
- | information. (Okay, so I did find 1 particular item of use after rummaging
- | around in the manuals and man pages for over an hour and fifteen minutes.)
- | SINCERE THANKS TO ALL WHO REPLIED.

- I blush for all of us...

- | Suggestion: For the love of sanity, Someone PLEASE compile a comprehesive
- | index for the hardbound manual sets with each (major) system
- | release.

- For the man pages there is apropos, which does a pretty good job
- (after you run /usr/lib/makewhatis). For the other manuals, I've
- been yelling about *useful* indexs for a while. The pubs folks have
- the message, and I think things are (slowly) improving as manuals
- are redone. That still doesn't help if you don't know what manual
- to look at though. The online (CD based, although it could be copied
- to a hard disk) documention product that is being worked on should
- help for this though (and no, it emphaticaly does *not* replace the
- hard copy manuals, although some of us had to fight for that).
