I found the information I was missing. For the benefit of those who may have been saying, "Yeah, I wonder where that stuff was", here it is: The OS/2 information is frequently applicable to FreeBSD and Linux. It is maintained by Patrick Duffy <duffy@theory.chem.ubc.ca>, and posted to comp.os.os2.misc on a monthly basis. The information can also be obtained from: ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/ab/abe/ http://warp.eecs.berkeley.edu/os2/workbench/work.htm There is also good information in the Linux HOWTO files maintained by Greg Hankins <gregh@sunsite.unc.edu>. Lycos shows many mirrored sources for the HOWTO's. I got mine from: http://www.halcyon.com/linuxdoc/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX.html Thanks to these people, who pointed me in the right direction: "James L.
