Helen:

Thanks for the suggestion but weeks ago I had in fact downloaded the
60All.zip documentation and unzipped then in my home directory. The client
machine I used has SuSE8 installed. I tried loading one of the resulting
pdf file in the Konqueror postscript viewer and it did not load. So I gave
up.

After your suggestion I tied loading in adobe acrobat and it loaded. I then
tried with Ghostview postscript viewer and it loaded. I then tried another
machine running redhat7.3 and surprise suprise the pdf file from the
60All.zip loaded in konqueror.. Curiouslly redhat is not supposed to
support Konqueror as well as SuSE!

After checking the pdf files, the one which I most missed is the language
reference. So again thanks for your suggestion.

regards
sibu
