Hi

I'd like to write a man page for GAMS.
For those not familiar with GAMS, it
stands for Guide to Available Mathematical Software,
and is a standard classification system of maths
software - http://gams.nist.gov/

Is it a good idea to just convert GAMS index, e.g.:
	http://netlib.org/slatec/gams
into a GAMS man page?

It is not directly related to the base OS, but
affects lots of ports under ports/math, and
probably some under other categories.

thanks
anton
