Is there a manual or web pages somewhere with all the
different tools, eg gbak, gfix, and the way to use all of these tools.
If so can you point me in the right direction. Another question, are
there any tools to diagnose the integrity of table structures, and
also any tools to fix damaged tables.

Thanks
