likewise, i had my own man pages for filepro - not same as bob's - alls
i had was the command line flags for each filepro binary, just to help
me work from command shell - i looked around when bob posted i noted I've
lost mine along the way as well. i do remember sending it around many
years ago - if anyone out there still has a copy, please send back as
well (i'll update the flags and return the favor)
failing that, if bob or someone else has the time and interest to concoct
a shell script to read the makemenu.hlp and build man pages from it i'm
sure we'd all benefit as we can recreate with each release.
