        do you know about hurddocs.sourceforge.net?

        There is lots of (scattered) documentation.

    kbd>  I thought (maybe because I haven't any useful doc ;)) that

        There isn't (yet).

    kbd> that). Why ?

        What's a linux command?  You will need to give more details.

    kbd> is it a translator-stuff issue ? 

        That's hard to say.

    kbd> but what is a translator (the online doc and settrans command
    kbd> are very short and **unclear**)

        I agree that settrans --help seems somewhat cryptic the first
      time you see it, but I thought that Marcus' WHATIS (see above)
      was very good.

        HTH,

        Paul.
