My home system has an older version of Opera, and it does not mention the OS name in the header or footer (just "OPERA(1)"). I usually take the examples at /usr/share/examples/mdoc/ as a template and redefine .Dd, .Ot., and .Os as needed. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
