Furthermore, if you have perl, you can get my man program, which has quite
a lot of other features as well, including maintaining the whatis database
in DBM form and dynamic indexing of man pages allowing "man ksh/alias" or
"man perl//study".  Retrieve it from the pub/perl/scripts/tchrist/man/
subdirectory on tut.cis.ohio-state.edu .  The program is described in "The
Answer to All Man's Problems", Proceedings of the 1990 USENIX Large
Systems Administration Conference (LISA) IV, Colorado Springs, CO, October
17-19, 1990.
