The hundred odd some page "book" as their ads put it is simply the permuted index that is present on all of the 4.4 BSD manuals. It simply lists out system calls, standard functions, etc. and on what man page they can be found. Is the source on the FreeBSD distribution okay for what you need? Ron Larson rlarso01@ic1d.harris.com
