Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been investigating a postscript printing problem with certain `man' pages on my 3.3-RELEASE system. The problem being that man pages such as ppp(8) print with headers and footers only on page one, with the section `NAME' not beginning until page two. This can easily be reproduced by using the following command: % man -t 8 ppp | ghostview - I have isolated the problem to the .Os macro (which appears to be defined in /usr/share/tmac/mdoc/doc-common). The problem occurs when the operating system is specified as `FreeBSD'. I can see that the `FreeBSD' and `BSD' entries in that file are different, but other than that, it just look like gobbledegook to me. Sorry if I'm wasting peoples time, knowing my luck, you've already fixed it in the upcoming 3.4-RELEASE :-) BTW, where is doc-common in the CVS repository now, it wasn't where I expected to find it under src/share/tmac/mdoc/...?
