I see what you mean. [For anyone wondering, the reference guides
contained the man pages.] The hard-copy class reference guides were
retired after Performer 2.2, so their web equivalents were taken off
when we revamped the web site for Performer 2.4. They'd be somewhat
out of date now. I see how they would be useful though. Though
after installing the software you'll have the manpages on your
system, they are part of performer_dev.
We also used to have a 'man page search engine' live on the site but
also retired that after Performer 2.2 since it had numerous security
flaws and wasn't getting enough hits to justify rewriting a bunch of
cgi-bin. That's why IRIX folks will notice that the 2.4 CD does not
contain performer_tools.

Sure, send them my way. Or even better, suggest the changes on
info-performer-dev++at++oss.sgi.com, our mailing list for the Open
Development parts of Performer. http://oss.sgi.com/projects/performer/
for more info.
