This is a continuation of the thread with markhass@calweb.com!
This is a file I created on my system to allow me to keep track of
what is installed ... with INet access it tends to get out of control
fast.
I save it as /usr/man/cat1/help.1 and as /usr/man/whatis so that it
can be accessed as either 'man help' or 'whatis commandname'.
Any comments or suggestions?? Some of the stuff is original and I
have no idea how to use it or it doesn't work properly.
ie. 'booz' always returns 'unable to create legal filename, skipping'
ie. How do you use 'dhrystone'?
The formatting may be a little messed up due to my news reader BUT
each entry is on a single line.
