Well, what can I say about this? The documents in /usr/doc leave a
distinctive WOW feeling. But its not a positive one. There is no way
to read them from the console when there is no terminal browser like
w3m installed. index.html contains lots of dead links, e.g. the first
link for C/C++ compilers referencing /usr/doc/compilers.html is DEAD.
There's dead documentation links all over the place. And from there it
goes all down the drain. The hallmark might be the "Feedback survey"
which goes to file:///~gsf/cgi-bin/uwin.cgi. WOW

David, Glenn and the others working on UWIN: Please find someone to
write end user documentation. Or hire one.
