I was reading a note just now about man pages, and a thought occurred to me, so I'll ask it while it's still resident in my brain...the man pages that require tbl processing don't seem to work right. I think I've found the culprit, but I'm not sure of the fix. My example for this is the math.3 man page, it's got a tbl table near the start of it. tbl handles it fine, but man runs it through col, and col seems to eat all the nice spacing that tbl has constructed for it. I don't really use col, so I have copied it to col.orig and linked cat over it. Is there a better fix? Just to make sure my question stack is empty, does anyone remember the fix to get tk/tcl working right? I have d/l'ed the new tk/tcl (4.0xxx), but it dies in the math library. I do remember why, I don't remember the fix....does anyone else?A ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
