I notice that some man pages are formatted with the older-style macros (e.g., .PP for paragraph) and some are formatted with the newer-style macros (e.g., .Pp for paragraph). Only the ones formatted with the newer macros display properly with man on my 2.1.5 system. Is this normal? I recently (re-)installed groff from the CD, but I did so by grabbing the tar file, unpacking it and running configure/make rather than by doing pkg_add or whatever the standard thing is. Would this have something to do with the problem? I don't recall having man pages display incorrectly before this. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu Home page: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/people/dubois Software: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software
