Yeah, OpenPTC doesn't accept that parameter :/ > Most of the GNU tools are better documented in the info pages, as they > consider man pages legacy. info ld might turn up more detailed info. You know, I've read/heard that many times over the years, but whenever I look at the info page for whatever tool I'm after, it's exactly the same as the man page (in the ld case too). I can't stand info, mostly because I always forget the keys, and the "default" keys seem completely foreign and wrong to me that it just puts me off using it. man works well enough for me.. :-) Thanks anyway. sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
