Virden) Organization: N8EMR's Ham BBS (HBBS), Columbus,Ohio Lines: 14 Keywords: unix, ultrix, help, wanted, site configurable Summary: A generalized help command type facility is desired. I am in search of one of the various help databases that I have seen posted to usenet from time to time. I dont know what the names of any of them are, nor do I have the path to any of the sites. I just saw some discussions a year or so ago talking about various facilities. What would be useful would be a program or series of programs which assisted a user in determining a) what program to use to attempt to achieve a particular goal, and b) what the source of a particular problem is. -- Larry W.
