subj: bugs and glitchs

    I've been using 2.1 for about nine months and I've collected
    some observations that, I believe, need tending to.

      1. man nice - gives information on the command but NOT the
                    system call

      2. man makedoc  - gives no output, file is located in /usr/bin

      3. man makeinfo - gives no output, file is located in /usr/bin

      4. /usr/bin/manpath - included in the output is the line:
                            "couldn't stat the file /usr/X386/man"

      5. vidcontrol VGA_80x50 - tells me invalid argument, however, it
                                does work with VGA_80x30

           video card is a WD 1024 Accelerator with 90C3X chipset

      6. using the bash shell, because I cannot get a good Korn shell,
           when issuing the command "/usr/bin/makewhatis", the response
           is "invalid file or directory".  However, the file does
           exist with 555 permissions and a size of 11303 bytes.


    I am sending this along in hopes that fixing these kind of things 
    is more important than adding more doo-dads.
