| If you've ever wanted to find something in the manuals, but never
| had much luck ... you might want to try out a package that I've
| been using for a while.  gman is a manual browser that uses
| inverted keyword indexes to assist in searching and browsing.
| 
| The software is available *only* by anonymous FTP to host sgi.com
| (at least for now).  Use user name "anonymous" and your E-mail address
| as the password.  Then, type
| 	binary
| 	cd pub				<----
| 	get gman.tar.Z
| 	quit
 
I've just been informed that pub/gman.tar.Z has been moved
to sgi/gman/gman.tar.Z.  This means that you should do the
following to retrieve the compressed tar file:
	binary
	cd sgi/gman
	get gman.tar.Z
	quit

Sorry, for the confusion.
