Title: whichman, ftff, ftwhich -- Fault tolerant search utilities
Version: 2.0
Entered-date: 05MAY01
Description: whichman uses a fault tolerant approximate matching algorithm
             to search for man-pages that match approximately the 
             specified name. It can be used to locate the right page
             in case the man-page is available in several sections.
             The fault tolerant matching is very useful in cases where
             you remember only roughly the name of a command.
             Example: whichman netwhat   This finds netstat.8:
             /usr/man/man8/netstat.8
             The package contains also a fault tolerant file find utility (ftff)
             and a fault tolerant version of the "which" command (ftwhich).
             Both use the same algorithm as whichman.
             The error tolerant approximate string match is based on 
             the Levenshtein Distance between two strings. This is a 
             measure for the number of replacements, insertions and
             deletions that are necessary to transform string A into string B
