I also ask a lot of questions, so maybe I could give a few advices, too :)

Grep is one of the most useful programs I've ever known. When I want to
know something GEOS programming related, I go to /pcgeos/include dir and
grep all *.def, *.goh and *.h files in current and subdirs:

grep -di "keyword" *.def

Another very useful area to grep is the sample source code dirs == can
see how the functions are used in more or less real applications.

Occasionally I also grep the /pcgeos/techdocs/ascii/ directories and once
I find a corrent area, I'll start Acrobat and read the full text..

PS. Grep comes with Borland C, so everyone (should) have it already!
