My other Unix based systems (Alliant, Sun) seem to have a reasonable database of 'apropriate' information. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference) I think you need to run makewhatis.
