In this directory is all you should need, (besides your man pages) to
build a very useful help utility for UN*X machines.

Assuming that you have a reasonably normal format in your /usr/man/whatis
file, this utility will extract the program or function name from the whatis
file and make it a hypertext link to its man page.

You may want to run 'catman -w' or 'man -w' or whatever your system does
to rebuild the whatis database before you run this utility.  On AIX systems
the whatis file may not even exist prior to running 'catman -w'.


To compile, just type "make"
if the hyper_help program doesn't work you can try "make weird" and use 
the mkhelp scrip to do the same thing using the "man -f" command.  The
latter option is not recommended because it will take at least 100 times
as long to do.

To run, just type "hyper_help /usr/man/whatis"
	    and   "hyper_help /usr/man/whatis -all"
(use your own whatis file as /usr/man/whatis)

Then user lynx to view it by "lynx unix_help"
