        ***** DOCUMENTATION FOR GNU SOFTWARE PORTS ****

I've downloaded some of the GNU versions of PC software (eg diff, ls
...) and they have just the executables, no documentation or man pages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
**** WHAT ARE "+" OPTIONS? ****
These programs have not only the usual unix options (preceded by a "-")
but a great list of one preceded by a "+" - what are these and how does
one use them?

Can anyone give me any pointers on where to get documentation for the
programs that have been ported as part of the (as I understand it)
unofficial GNUISH project? It's a great waste if the software is
available but it's unusable :-(

What converter does one use to convert manual pages that have embedded
"\fB" style codes - short of going thru with emacs and macros to remove
these or convert them to ANSI escape sequences.

*** Is there GNU RCS for MSDOS with wildcard EXPANSION ***

I've gotten hold of MYRCS.ZIP which is a port of GNURCS 5.5 to DOS but
it doesn't do expansion of wildcards on the command line (I get can't
find "*.pas").  There is an option in Microsoft C to have these expanded
without using a shell.  Is there a version of GNURCS 5.5 compiled with
this option? I'm using DOSRCS and it's wonderful but I want to be able
to check-in word-processing documents that aren't line oriented ...


Thanks
Giovanni
