A good resource would probably be the last public Berkeley Standard Distribution manpages. Because these are distributed under the Berkeley license (allowing free reproduction and distribution for non-commercial use only, but requiring licensing for commercial distribution) they are omitted from commercial packages and also from standard FSF-oriented sites, who prefer to only allow Copyleft distribution under the GNU Public License. But the BSD manpages can be found on various archive sites. I don't have a specific site at hand, but if nobody else does I'll dig one up... -lar "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around. No time for dancing or lovey-dovey, I ain't got time for that now. I sent a message through the receiver, hope to get an answer someday. Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Thought I'd be different this time." -D. Byrne
