I don't see any sign of the /usr/share/man/cat? directories in either the bin or manpage distributions. The installer doesn't create them either because the Pentium box here only has the man? directories. If we do include them, perhaps we should include an option to run catman to generate the preformatted pages. Warn the user that this will at worst double the size needed to hold all man pages, but with the benefit that you don't have to wait for nroff and friends to do their work each time. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
