Default Read gcc info files on solaris; Seek online manual

Hello,

I'm using solaris 8 on sun blade 500 machines.
I am not the administrator. I browsed to through
the directory subtree in which gcc resides and
found lots of info files. On cygwin, I can use
the info command, but not on solaris. I did some
web searching and found that "info" is gnu specific.
On our system, the alternative is use the man pages,
but I don't find them very explanatory.

I searched for an info package at www.sunfreeware.com,
in hopes of asking the administrator to install it.
But it doesn't exist there. I went to the gcc homepage
http://gcc.gnu.org, but they don't have the online
manual for our version (3.2.1). Isn't it kind of odd
that they have online manuals for older and newer
versions, but not 3.2.1?

Anyway, is there a way to access the manual (not the
man pages) for gcc 3.2.1? Thanks.

Fred
