I agree completely with Tim: I use 'man' (or 'info' for gfortran & the
like) all the time - but then I'm a die-hard command-liner/shell-scripter
who never uses ccp4i!  I haven't got around to installing 6.4 yet but if &
when I do & I find the man pages missing as Tim says I'll probably copy
over the ones from 6.3 - even though they're maybe now a bit out of date,
it's better than no man pages!  ... or maybe better would be something like:

alias manc 'less $CDOC/\!^.doc'

(assuming of course the .doc files aren't also missing).

... or this looks promising:
ftp://jaguar.ncsl.nist.gov/current_docs/sctk-1.2/doc/html2man.pl (haven't
tried it though).

Cheers
