Thanks for the info. I managed to delve into the release notes for this package on IRIX. Seems like IRIX has a really nice tool called strangely enough 'relnotes' which will parse and show the release notes like man pages. Here are some snippets from the DWB:
------------
Software Option Product Documenter's
Workbench
Version 4.1.3
Product Code SC4-DWB-4.1.3
System Software Requirements IRIX 5.3 or later
------------
However they do mention this:
-------------
1.3 Product_Support
Silicon Graphics, Inc., provides a comprehensive product
support maintenance program for its products.
If you are in North America and would like support for your
Silicon Graphics-supported products, contact the Technical
Assistance Center at
1-800-800-4SGI.
If you are outside North America, contact the Silicon
Graphics subsidiary or authorized distributor in your
country.
---------------
But they may not answer :)
