I'd rather kill myself than use the GNU 'info' so-called 'help'
system.  Unfortunately, the GNU project regards man pages as obsolete.
(Too bad they don't judge their own key mappings with the same critical
eye.)  The man page that came with my distribution of gcc (Linux,
Slackware, 'd' package), was for some old version which doesn't support
the same options as the binary that came with it.
   Does anyone either have a man page for gcc 2.5.8, or know where I
could get one, or know of someone who maintains such a thing?
Alternately, does anyone know of on-line documentation for 2.5.8 which
is readable by mortals not assisted by large doses of psychoactive
substances (i.e., not in 'info' format)?
   Any replies, of binaries or references, by email or followup, would
be greatly appreciated.
