Where did the man/info pages go? In order to save space and download times, we have stopped providing the man/info files for the tools with the binary install since we are not yet providing a man page or info reader. Both types of documentation are available in a tar file available from the project ftp site. Or consult the online documentation over the WWW. Hope this helps.
