These are all things you need to decide for yourself. You said that there were programs that lacked documentation. Start there. As you are on dialup, use a package that is available on your distro already. Start with a small program and contact the maintainer. Start with the README, then do the man pages. Later you can also do inline help. The person to contact is the developer itself. To know who that is, you can do the following in SUSE: 'pin program'. That should give you the emailadres of where to reach the maker of the program. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
