I've got a whole bunch of patch submissions building up for this. I've already incorporated this correction in but thanks! Two people asked me why a man page verses a doc. The answer is simply that an order of magnitude more people will read and use it as a manual page verses as a doc. In fact, now that I think about it, something we really ought to do is incorporate document access into the 'man' system. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> :: =================================================================== :: RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/share/man/man7/development.7,v :: retrieving revision 1.1 :: diff -u -r1.1 development.7 :: --- development.7 22 Dec 2002 02:07:05 -0000 1.1 :: +++ development.7 22 Dec 2002 16:52:46 -0000 :: @@ -337,8 +337,8 @@ :: a good time.
