I don't understand why item #1 and #2 of your list would require an HTTP *daemon*. IMHO, only a reader would be required. The man pages need also to stay in `normal' form. (Unless someone bothers to write a `man' command that uses HTML and has a user interface like `man'.) I'm certainly not the only one who would be totally upset if typing ``man ls'' doesn't do what it's expected to do... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
