A hypertext interface to the man pages will take a lot of work to get right and if it can't be done for 2.1, then we shouldn't include httpd server (unless there is some other compelling reason). However, we DO have a hypertext FAQ and a growing collection of hypertext tutorials so I think including lynx is relevant, and a man/faq/tutorial package would be the ideal place to put it. -john === jfieber@cs.smith.edu ================================================ =================================== Come up and be a kite! --K.
