How useful is GCG nowadays (vs Macs)

Hi,

sorry for the previous empty post. Here is what I wanted to say..

to those of you who are using GCG under VMS I append a small procedure that
allows a user to print his own copy of a part of the program manual.
UNIX folks may use this as an example.

In addition I would like to have a version of the user manual on my machine,
too.

Regards,
    Christoph Gartmann
