I'm having problems with man pages on one of our bsd servers. On this
particular machine all the man pages come out badly formatted.. I get
things like:-
to....so..uoe.temp.sO doc-syms NAME
ls
SYNOPSIS
ls [FlACFLRTacdfiloqrstu1] [Arfile...]
DESCRIPTION
Which makes the pages rather hard to read :(
Ive tried re-compiling and installing man, troff and the termcap but that
doesn't seem to help. I know the pages are okay because they are the same
as ones on other machines that do work.
The other problem is that when I install the termcap from the 2.1 release
the ls command goes funny. The ls -q listing thinks the window is 1
character wider than it really is. Going back to the old term all is okay!
Anybody any ideas on either of these problems? Please reply by email to:
dev@flevel.co.uk
Thanks very much in advance.
Regards,
Trefor S.
