BRU is licensed from Enhanced Software Technologies (1-602-820-0042). I'm sure if you give them a call and explain your situation, that you have insufficient documentation from SGI, they would be happy to sell you a complete manual for the product at a reasonable cost for the manual plus shipping and handling. The SGI version is also quite old, the current version is 12.7. -Fred
