It might not configure very easily, but it has a number of useful additions... BTW -- is there a manifest for where all the sources are? Here's some readme for 1.4d: For man-1.4: Corrected some misprints in man.1. Now also search for manpages *.man. Added use of message catalogs. (Just as an exercise.) man-1.4c: Added fixes by gentzel@2.340.ENET.dec.com, Pauline Middelink and others. Added suid handling. Added TIOCGWINSZ. man-1.4d: Added Polish man pages (Rafal Maszkowski, rzm@oso.chalmers.se). Added -W option (Marty Leisner, leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com). ====================================================================== For man-1.3: Changed MANPATH handling, added locale, added 1.2 changes (unaware of the existence of 1.2), bugfixes. Now merged both versions. Andries E. Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl ======================================================================= For man-1.2: I seem to have taken over man for the moment. I added support for run- time determination of compressors and expanders, plus a couple of bug fixes. Zeyd M.
