Very interesting... it appears that the gprof.inf file was omitted from
the bnu27b.zip distribution.  :(  It is, however, in the bnu27s.zip
distribution, so if you're really desperate to have it you can get it
from there.

But I don't understand how you could possibly be having problems using
gprof.  The only syntax that matters is 'gprof <program>'.  As long as
you've compiled correctly with '-pg' and done a sample run of your
program, typing that will generate a complete human-readable data dump
with internal documentation.  What part of this are you having trouble
with?
