Right. I think part of the problem with Unix documentation is that there are manual pages for individual things, but there are none to explain how everything (parts of a subsystem) fits together. (Well, besides the terrible lack of necessary detail in a lot of them (generally, not specifically X).) The GNU info pages for the C library are pretty good in that respect: they are organized, reading through them from first node to last node yields a good order, they have explanations and examples, etc. ....and I just found that it doesn't exists here on my newly-installed Debian system. Hey! What's going on? Did Debian forget to include the main documentation for the C library? Or did I miss a package? Daniel -- Daniel S. Barclay Compass Design Automation, Inc.
