Reasonable binary distributions (e.g. Sun) have the Sail documentation in /usr/man/man6 where it belongs. 4. Yes, people should engage brain before opening mouth. That is exactly the point my earlier reply was trying to make. -- From the TARDIS of Mark Callow msc@qubix.UUCP, qubix!msc@decwrl.ARPA ...{decvax,ucbvax}!decwrl!qubix!msc, ...{amd,ihnp4,ittvax}!qubix!msc "Nothing shocks me. I'm an Engineer." /* ---------- */ The fact that you mentioned a "reasonable binary distribution" example indicates that you know that there may be some that aren't. Then there are systems where the administrators don't give a sh*t about helping users find documentation (or even software), especially for games. If you had engaged your brain, you would have realized that *the world isn't reasonable*. Some of us have to live with a unix system with pieces missing (then again, some of us have to live with Unix, period). So, to shut all this up, if the sail doc isn't to long, why doesn't someone who has a copy post it (I don't have one - I live in the unreasonable part of the world). "What do you mean, CONQUEST won't run on Unix?"
